There are many posts about this (use the Search feature). One common cause is leaks at the hose connections - where the hose is clamped to a pipe or tube. The SAAB clamps are only so-so and weaken over time and the hoses shrink at the same time. So there is room for minor leaks from many places and these typically occur when the system is under pressure. That is, when the engine is running. Suggest you at least tighten all clamps and better replace teh clamps with stainless stell circle clamps available at just about any auto parts store.
