Problem with engine has water in the oil pan, which means it probably blew a head gasket. Fortunately the car knew it had a problem and shut itself down.
It still turns over and cranks but has not run until we diagnose further. The oil cooler (mounted on oil filter) still holds water and does not leak... so rules that out.

Before the car shut off the temperature was fine, no warning light, and oil temp was fine too. If it were warmer weather the problem may have been detected sooner but fortunately the car did not overheat.
This could be a quick fix with a routine head gasket change for a skilled mechanic with a garage.
Even as-is the car has value for all the good parts.

Feel free to contact with any questions if you might be interested in buying it as a whole project?
