If the check engine light is on, there is a problem that the computer has detected and it needs to be fixed first. Once the proper repair(s) have been made you can use a code reader that has the ability to "reset" the light. You could also just disconnect the battery for 15 minutes. If the problem hasen't been fixed the light will come back on.

Found oil in my coolent expansion tank
Generally speaking, if you have engine oil in the cooling system, you have a leak somewhere in the engine, which could be a head gasket.
Is there any sign of coolant in the engine oil ?

2005 Caddy V8 sts no longer remote cranks. lights
I had the same problem with my STS. Go back through your programing menu and "check" remote start again. Somehow, mine defaulted to not allowing remote start feature. It was good to go as soon as I re-programmed it.
