Nah, this was pure oil, not just some oil in the anti-freeze.
As if I poured oil directly on the driveway.

Yes, the engine turns over.
When I turned it off after overheating, it was still running,
When I turned it off, I heard the coolant boiling....

No I didn't check it this way.
But, when I changed the fuel filter, gas was flowing out of the filter,
before I put the hose back.
I've never had overheating problems, the gauge would always be in the middle
when driving.
Only overheated when idling for an extended time.
I will have it towed to the dealer , and have them look at it.
I am just afraid they willl fix the fuel pump, and not notice there is major
damage,
as the oil spillage has me very concerned.
Thanks for taking the time to type your lengthy reply. !
