Is it safe to drive vehicle when there is oil in antifreeze reserve and Saturn ION?
If there is motor oil in the antifreeze reservoir there is a good chance there is also antifreeze in the motor oil. This condition is probably the result of a bad head gasket or a cracked head. Antifreeze mixing with motor oil is a recipe for disaster for the engine. Have a trusted mechanic diagnose the situation soon as possible to hopefully avoid even more costly repairs.
What would cause oil to leak into the antifreeze reservoir on a Chevy Venture?
If it is motor oil in the anti freeze, then it is either a cracked head, cracked engine block, or a head gasket blown. If it is transmission fluid in your antifreeze, then the radiator is leaking from the transmission cooler ----- although usually that would cause antifreeze to be in your transmission fluid.

A bad head gasket is the most common cause of antifreeze mixing in the oil. The antifreeze will dilute the oil and it will eventually cause your engine to seize up.
How do you remove oil from the antifreeze bottle after you replace the head gasket on a 1997 Saturn SL?
Oneway is to stick a water hose in the reservoir and turn the hose on about 1/3 pressure. This will flush out the majority of the oil. Now put a small amount of dishwashing detergent in the reservoir and with an object swirl it around inside the tank. Flush it again with water hose until all soap and oil are gone. Now siphon out the water and fill to full with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water. Or you can remove it and clean it out if it is easy to remove.

Are you sure that isn't antifreeze and if so that would indicate the radiator is defective. There is a transmission oil cooler in the radiator.

That's usually a good place for it, as well as the overflow reservoir. It wouldn't do you much good to put it in the windshield washer reservoir, the oil pan, or the fuel tank, after all.
