Oil in the radiator makes it sound like you blew a head gasket.

SOURCE: Oil in the rad water but no water in the oil

I would say that there must be a small track between an oil channel and a water channel in a cylinder head gasket. The oil pressure is normally more than the water pressure, so the fluid transfer is one way - to the water system. The track will be very small, so flow will only occurs when oil pressure is above zero. It's all it can be, I think.

Its most likely a seal on the power steering rack by the age it will most likely just be a seal they are about £7 in UK but possible the rack is goosed although I doubt it, please be careful using the car as it can lock the steering in position, and,,,, well you get it.

SOURCE: i have a 2002 l200 turbo intercooled with 105000

Alrighty ... That's not a whole lot of miles, but being as it is turbo'd, maybe I can understand it. First: Watch your tailpipe. Does the exhaust appear to be white? Shut off the engine, go out, pop the hood, open up the radiator cap. Start the engine. Does the water bubble, or smoke vent off the top? It could be a broken head gasket, if it does not show these signs, it could be that instead of going into the cylinder, it moved it from the water to the oil passages. Either way, just watch that the reverse does not occur: That WOULD be disastrous.

My car is boiling over an engine hot replace fan no water in oil
LOTS OF CAUSE, FOR SURE.
not replacing lost coolant , makes this worse.
only on cool down (time waited) engine , RAd CAP OFF FILL IT TO THE TOP AFTER DOING THE RECOVERY SIDE BOTTLE 1/2 FULL.
the causes are huge. and well known for 10o years. endless examples to read online or in books.
an new rad caps is dirty cheap and fast, and is too old now.


1: running pure water not 50% AF antifreeze, it has 260f boil protection not just freeze .
2: thermostat bad, no 1997 stat is any good now, ever. or put in wrong for example backards or the bleed hole indexted wrong (up hill is bingo)
3: air in the system not burped out. see RAD cap off in my preamble.
4: leaks in hoses, (any coolant) to ground to heater core down.
5: leaks RAD or in heater coil, passenger has wet feet?)
6: leaks in the engine we pressure test it at RAD cap ( a tool)
7: water pump leaks or impeller rusted nothing or to lettel left.
8: head warped gasket now ba but is #6 said a different way.
9: rad PACKed full or bugs or same to front AC condenser core.
10 fan belts loose or even missing, or shreaded, to junk.
11:electric fans even 3 of them some dead. (any)
12;see steam cloud at rear tail pipe, see #8

Can I drive a 2003 saturn L200 without serpentine belt?
As crazy as it sounds, I don't see why not. Based on my limited knowledge of a 2002 L200, the power steering is run off the back of the camshaft and the water pump is driven by the timing belt. The only things the serpentine belt runs are the A/C and alternator. Obviously you won't make it very far running without an alternator, but at worst you kill your battery. Serpentine belt on a 2.2l 4 cylinder 2002 L200 has nothing to do with the water pump or power steering pump.

Mitsubishi L200 overheating
i have an l200 animal, i started getting the same symptoms, bubbling noises, over heating, water being discharged into the header tank, i had a good look around the engine,there was no oil in the water or water in the oil ( signs of head gasket failure) when the radiator cap was off and i revved hard nothing happened, no dip in water levels and no splashing out. i took the water pump off and the impellor had sheered off the shaft. fitted a new pump and its been fine, maybe all these cracked cylinder heads and warped heads are to do with the engine being run with the fault not being cured.
