Blown Head Gasket
Sorry man you just had a BHG. Check your coolant level. I'll bet it is low to really low. Milkshake on the dipstick is all you need to know.
Fixing a BHG is realativly easy but it sounds like you have a bad main seal or something too. So you should rebuild the engine, at least enough to fix the original oil leak and replace the head gasket. Since you ran it try I'll bet the allready leaking main (front and/or rear) seals just ripped open.
Since you ran it with milkshake and no lubricant for a while there may be more damage. You probably need to replace all of the the main and rod bearings, check the crank and cam/rockers/shafts for ware. If they are damaged they would have to be replaced. You should also check the oil pump.
Since it overheated you will need to check everything that you take off for warpage. If anything is warped it has to be milled true.
There may be a couple other things that I am not thinking of too. But hopfully you didn't run it too long.
Don't run it again until you fix it. The more it is run the worse the damage.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Steve
