My son drove the car, he said white smoke came from under the hood, multiple electrical codes flashed on, and the car gradually ran down to a stop, with a final 'errrr' sound. No clack/clatter/crack sounds. Coolant was very low. The car would crank but not turn over. Spark plugs had spark, but no compression in motor. The oil dipstick showed a very high oil level, so I tried to draw off some of the oil. Instead I drew coolant from dipstick pipe, which lowered the oil level. No milky residue at all on the dipstick itself. No sign of mixing of oil and coolant, even in motor itself. Mechanic said it's the head gasket but might be the oil filter cooler gasket as well.
Also, numerous electrical codes which I'll provide in a follow-up post.
P.S. the coolant seemed to come out of the dipstick from behind the oil. No mixing of fluids. Weird.
