You have taken apart a motor for a 1996 SL Saturn The oil was leaking into the antifreeze Does this sound like you need a new head?

The 1996 Saturn more likely has a blown head gasket. The gaskets will give this problem. If the head is in doubt it can be checked for warpage.

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.
