Could be a hole in the radiator or a bad water pump. But some water into the radiator and see if it leaks out.

In some cases the oil doesn't show up milky until later mine did that at least. But from the sounds of it it sounds like a BHG.

It could be a BHG, cause getting water in your cylinders would make the radiator be lower and stop your motor from turning over. And normally the catch can will go down but not be empty, Its there to make up from expansion and contraction(heating and cooling). But i wouldnt quite say full to empty...lol. Id say do not try to drive your car, Pull the spark plugs out and try to turn it over. If it does, look for water. Or stick a paper towell in each hole and look for water. Or if it doesnt turn over, Its a power/starter broken issue. But as a general rule, Just because you rule out a problem by way of isolation, Doesnt mean it isnt there. meaning still maybe water in there if it doesnt turn over, Its just not the only thing. just to be safe keep looking once you get it to start. Did you check battery too?

you were kinda pushing your car, maybe a crack on the radiator?
if i was you i wouldnt drive it till i solve this issue , cuz for all you know every rev your engine does is only making your problem worst

if you arent getting any spark then it sounds electrical. does the starter click when you turn the key? if not check the battery, check the lines to the started/battery. you want to check for water in the cylinders and quick cause the antifreeze will eat up the walls.
