Re: Cooling System Leak

I am looking for some sage advice about a slow leak in the cooling system of
my 1997 900 SET.  A few weeks ago the low coolant level display appeared on
my SIDS.  I noticed a very small puddle of coolant on the floor of my garage.
 I topped-off the coolant, then had the low coolant level alarm go on again
about a week later.  There was a slightly bigger puddle on the floor of my
garage.

I took the car into the local dealer, who put 30 pounds of pressure on the
coolant system, and was unable to find a leak.  They did tighten all the
connections in the system.

The question is:  What should I do next if the leak recurs?

The guy at the service desk said:  'I shouldn't tell you this, since it is
not a Saab product, but there is a 'Stop-Leak' compound you can put in your
radiator that might work.'

Have any of you used this with your Saabs?  If so, were there any problems?
Any other suggestions on what to do with a leak that is so slow, it doesn't
show up at the service department?

All replies gratefully appreciated.
