I had oil in my coolant and coolant in my oil on my 2003 9-5 Saab Turbo. I was told that the cause of this was that the oil runs though the radiator to cool it and something inside broke causing the oil to mix with the coolant. Is that possible?

Sound like u have a bad oil cooler, this part is located in the middle of the engine on top below the intake manifold, so what u would need for repairs, is 1 oil cooler, 1 oil cooler cover, all related o-ring seals for that repair & while u r there recommend changing engine coolant thermostat too, note that is a common problem with the v6's, radiator too when the thermostat goes bad but mostly the oil cooler, good luck, price to repair is high recommend using a new oil cooler not used, cause u dont want to go back there again in a few weeks or months.
