First thing for your troubleshooting, only use water for coolant. Anti-freeze in the oil is the worst thing you can do to engine bearings. It can tear things up pretty quickly. The oil cooler is an oil-to-water unit and normally when they leak, the engine oil ends up in the coolant, not the other way around. Very few reports of V6 head gasket issues but possible. The oil cooler assembly for the Catera is compatible but seems like someone posted it's not all aluminum like the SAAB's? Ebay has Catera coolers, $320. The cooler can be done with the heads on. Very common failure. Wonder if head gasket or cracked head? Hopefully just a gasket. Search this board - lots of help available. Good luck.
