The oil does not normally come out unless some dripped out of the
compressor when you removed it or seeped out from the hoses. You don't
mention your Saturn's year. 1994 and up use R134A refrigerant. If 93
or older, it will be cheaper for you to do a conversion to r134a. To
recharge it, you need to first evacuate all of the air you introduced
into the system by opening it. If you left it open like this for
awhile, then you also introduced moisture and now need to replace the
receiver dryer and the oil possibly. This is not a DIY'er job unless
you have all the required equipment and are knowledgeable. Since you
removed the compressor instead of the alternator for servicing, that
kind of tells me you are not qualified.

To say the least.... Best let someone else do it before you do more
damage or get hurt too. R134a is not user freindly if you do not have
a pretty fair grip on what you are doing.
