It sounds like you are having a crankcase ventilation problem. There is a series of baffles in the valve cover and a vent pipe that allow vapors and pressure to escape from the crankcase into the intake as they build up. In high mileage cars, the baffles can become clogged with oily crud and pressure can build up in the crankcase. If your car has a turbocharger, the oil pumped into the turbo to lubricate the bearing cannot return to the crankcase because of the excessive pressure, so it goes out the seal and into the turbocharger housing. This is where the smoke comes from. Cleaning out the vent system can solve the problem. You can have this verified and fixed by contacting Your Mechanic. They will send a technician to your home or office to check out your smoking Saab and let you know what it will take to fix it.
