Hi my name is Eric and I have a 1995 Saturn SL1 and it only has around 85,000miles on it. I noticed a few weeks ago it was leaking oil so I opened the hood and noticed the water reservoir was full of oil.
I could not afford to pay someone to fix it so a mechanic friend of mine pulled the head off and I was hoping it was just a blown head gasket but under the cam is a huge crack in the head. I know the car is old but should it really have a cracked head at 85,000miles? I really like the car and it gets around 35mpg which is great when running the kids to all there sports events. I have a fiance and she has three kids I am trying to raise and this hole situation really sucks mostly beings its so close to Christmas. I just want you to know that I think this cracked head problem in my opinion is a just a faulty part because I never over heated the engine or ran it hard I just used it to get to work and run the kids around. I figure no one will even read this and if they do it will just get deleted but I wish you a Merry Christmas because it looks like mine will not be the best this year. GOD BLESS.........

Sorry for your bad luck there. Repost this comment in the S-series forum, and more people will see it. They might even have suggestions for a low-cost repair/fix. Hope your holidays get better...
