Bummer!
Hmmm, the expansion tanks do become coated over time with black algie-like stuff; are you sure it's oil? (thinking positively)
If it's a head gasket leak, then you're probably looking at replacing it. Once the leak starts, erosion of the block or head can/will follow. A re-torque probably won't fix it.
My memory is fuzzy on this, it's been a while since I looked, but IIRc, my '95 SET doesn't have an engine oil cooler - my thinking was that that was a hot climate option. Perhaps I should check the car/manuals before saying more though.
How does the radiator look? If it really is oil in the exp. tank, it'll be in the rad. too.
