Very strange. I parked the 31 Coupe last night and everything was fine. I checked the oil and it was full and clean. This morning I back it out of the garage and there was so much coolant in the oil it was coming out the dipstick hole. Milky white liquid. It was 2 inches or more above the full mark.

What could have failed to cause this massive leak in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes ?????

I'm guessing an internal casting failure maybe from rust. I have no idea. It sure is not a small leak from a head gasket. I can't believe it filled the oil pan in a matter of a few minutes.

Sad face.

Sorry to hear about your problem. You could pressure check your coolant system, and try to pinpoint the leak. Pulling the spark plugs may also yield more information.
