own a saturn 1995 sl series went to add coolant in tank and got back up oil in the tank any suggestions may be a blown head or gasket?



16 valves : Gasket 8 valves : May be gasket, prob. craked head

SL? SL what. 1 - 2?

What are you seeing exactly? Because a lot of people see things that have nothing to do with what they're seeing. If you had a cracked head or failed head gasket you would more likely have coolant in you oil not oil in your coolant. Why no one on here ever suggest a pressure test of the cooling system and automatically concludes the worst keeps baffling me.

It might be a vanilla SL.

According to a June 17, 1999 AP article ("Saturn covers repair bill for faulty '94-'96 cylinder parts") I have, "If oil has leaked into the coolant, it would be a sign of cylinder head cracks and need for repairs."

I myself had the same problem with my 95SL and Saturn replaced the engine in the car even though I bought the car used. Contact your local Saturn dealer and inform them of teh problem. Hopefully that is all the problems you will have with yours unlike mine.
