Not entirely sure.
Once I get the mess on the driveway cleaned up, I suspect I'm pulling the engine.
Here's the thing - I'm not a mechanic, but I am an engineer so I can figure things out, but I don't know exactly what coolant in the oil pan means.

Looks like you got yourself a milkshake machine 
best case a head gasket, worst case a cracked water jacket in the head or block possibly caused by broken valves,piston Ect, Either way that head has to come off.

Bummer for sure. The good thing is these engines are easy to pull. Getting all the front end and assessories out of the way is the consuming part. Engine pulls easy after all that. Plenty of guys that have done it on here so don’t hesitate to ask questions.
