I appreciate you all!
My job has me running into different states daily so my car is parked at work in Vegas. I should be back home around 5am give or take.
Before I removed the thermostat there was no water in the oil, but there was oil in the water of the radiator. I temp fixed that with blue devil and as of before I removed the thermostat, no oil leak.
I know it's possible to have caused a head gasket failure (blegh) in that short of time. A freak storm hit as I was replacing everything back onto the engine after removing the t stat and I had to shut my hood and dash inside. When I went out to finish the job I hadn't realized I put the upper radiator hose back on securely...without the clamp. So my 3 mile test ride had the upper rad hose pop off and emptywith the car over heating. No biggie, slap the hose on, wait for the car to cool and refill with water and rebleed. I took it for another test ride about 3 miles, no issue. Never went over what, 180? I had my torque app plugged into the car and I was monitoring that temp gauge.
My wife didn't want to take it cause she'd been having trouble so I decided to take it to work same day. It's about 7 ish miles via the 95 freeway. I hopped on, had no trouble till near about the end of the ride on the freeway when suddenly the temp gauge shot up and started to over heat pulling off the freeway. I tried turning on my heater, but it doesn't work. Made it to the 7-11 parking lot shut the car off. Went inside and came out I did notice a relatively small puddle of water under the middle front of the passenger side of the car but I discounted it because it was pretty small. I opened the hood and did a visual inspection but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
