I've had a similar experience on my 1995 900S. I first time that I replaced the (2) o-rings, I noticed that the o-ring grooves in the pump to block o-ring groove were starting to pit. Sure enough the leak returned a couple of years later. This time I replaced the pump to block connector along with the o-rings. I also polished the bore in the block with Scotch-Brite® to clean that up. I'ts only been two years since I've done this, so I can't really say this will last any longer than the first fix. FWIW, I've changed the coolant (I only use Saab coolant #0268177 and distilled water) every two years since the car was new.
