Just got in from out of town and saw this. You still need help?

Overheated, won't start.  Sounds funny when cranking.  Radiator was out of water as well as resivior.  Temp was normal this morning and 40 miles headed home.  Once it lost power and died is when I noticed that temp gauge was pegged.  Blown head gasket, cracked head, cracked block?  Oil is not milky.

If you have water in the crankcase, I hope it's the head and not the block.  What car/truck with what engine?

Oil is clean.  It's a "toy car" Mazda Miata. 1.6L
