    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?

    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.

    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.
