As I recall thats an overhead cam engine. The plug sits down a deep tube in the middle of the valve cover. Because of that the valve cover has individual seals around each tube. If one fails you will get a bunch of oil in a spark plug well and usually a misfire along with it. The valve cover gasket comes with new ones to fix that. As far as your coolant leak goes you should narrow down exactly where it is coming from as soon as possible to save some trouble when it gets any worse.

If you need repair guides with pics to help you navigate the job a bit try autozone.com. You can set up a login for free that lets you look at repair guides for your car. Comes in handy and can make it much less intimidating.

Nick is one of the sharpest knives in the drawer as we know. Hard to get at heater hose. Careful if on the heater core but either way cut the hose carefully with a razor blade type something and peel if off not pull on it.
The "utility knife" type does have a blade available to pull to cut which would be a hardware store item at least here. They don't sell that car where I am in MA - USA so can't help with any exacting know how on the approach but it's fairly generic that things are hard to get to with almost everything now so understand but it can be done.
Spark plug is exactly as Nick said,

If anyone comes by with a Citroen 2CV I did (stupid as nothing for it available here) I can help. Dang - an umbrella with wheels!

I'm such a specialist in cars whose manufacturers went bankrupt prior to the first models showing up in the states. But I've got some friends who had them. They got rid of them on my advice because I was tired of spending my free time fixing them.

Saabs are like Thomas Jeffersons kids that he wouldn'd own up to. In heavy trucks its like a Sterling vs. Ford. Just something they are embarassed so bad they won't put their own name on it.

Out on a limb I shouldn't climb - I refuse to work on Saabs! Take those back to Sweden where they belong!
