Time to replace the engine. Also, need to replace all of the hoses as they are now contaminated and will start to swell. The cause of the oil leaking into the coolant is either a cracked head or a blown head gasket. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell without disassembling the engine for inspection. You can get Saturn engines fairly cheap at wrecking yards but beware that the oil contamination is a common problem with these engines.
