alright today went out to start my car 02 ssei when i turned the key sounded like the starter got stuc cranked over it felt like something stoped it from turning over once i got it fired up got white smoke from the exhaust very thick took off the engine cover coolant was leaking out right blow the */c also started leaking oil from the front of the motor somewhere didnt get a chance to find out where yet think either intake gasket, head gasket, or motor is gone when idling no overheating oil pressure was about 4 lines below 120psi any help would be help full oil was just change last weekend it looked like new when i checked the dipstick
Could be a lower intake gasket failure. If they are the original gaskets(10 years old) then yea, they probably failed and allowed coolant to enter the intake ports. Can't say as I have ever heard of a head gasket failing on here.

Replace the lower intake manifold, change the oil, new coolant, and you should be good to go. The only problem you might have is if you damaged anything in the rotating assembly trying to start it when it was hydrolocked.
