Default 99 9-5 head gasket - 12-16-2004 , 02:44 PM






I have a 99 9-5 Saab which just started leaking oil @ 98K miles... at first
I thought it was the oil filter but it isn't and appears to be above the
filter... it is very hard to see where it is coming from; viewing from top
bottom... any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

The local SAAB dealer spotted a leak on my 2003 9-5. They first thought it
was the valve cover gasket. But switched the diagnosis to leaking head
gasket. They re-torqued the head bolts and claim to have it fixed. The car
had no symtoms of "Blown" head gasket.
Get a torque wrench, a torque specification and a torque sequence pattern
and go to it.
