Thought I was hallucinating when this light turned on about 2 minutes from my house. The last 60 seconds the car really wanted to shut off while coming to a stop. As I drove down my street white smoke was pouring out of the exhaust and engine bay. Stalled in front of my house in the street. Engine bay was smoking for a solid 20 minutes after I shut it off. Green drops all over everything in the engine bay.
That's a pretty comprehensive head gasket failure! Not only a massive external leak, but with white smoke in the exhaust, evidently one to some combustion chambers too. Did you see signs of coolant in the oil as well? Sorry this happened to you, I hope the engine wasn't damaged and will be fine with a gasket replacement.
