On my way home from work the car overheated ,the cooling fan didnt kick in . I stopped the car and saw the coolant was empty .Refilled with coolant adn made it home .White ish smoke from the exhaust and the oil was coffee coloured Steam/liquid /goo escaping from the engine manifold . I had foolishly used semi synthetic oil for the last oil change and think that had something to do with it .The oil level was very low. Is this motor beyond repair ?It has only 115k miles on the clock.
