Blown head gasket?

Probably just a head gasket but you won't know till it comes off and gets checked. A good machine shop can check the head for warpage and cracks.
The biggest thing is that it wasn't you driving the car when this happened
so you don't know the situation when the damage occured and how long it was driven like that.
One of my previous engines lost the number 6 piston when the gasket blew
which meant used engine for me.
