Please Help
I drove my 1994 Jeep Wrangler home from work this morning, only let warmup for about 1min (literally) and drove 45-50 MPH for about 5 miles before getting on interstate. Drove another 10-12 before getting home. Heard a metal on metal sound, pulled into neighborhood and was stopped, Coolant came rushing out of the bottom of the car onto the street, there appears to be some oil sprey on underside of the hood, a little whites smoke -think is the coolant on the engine. I turned the car off and checked the oil level and it appears ok, I can't identify a leak for either. Anyone have any advise? How to go about determining the problem?

Fill the coolant and pressure test if necessary to locate source of coolant leak.

You can't until you resolve the cooling system issues.

Just a wild thought: Did fan go loose and attack radiator? The low coolant for any reason would at speed especially cause a quick overheat and head gasket issues would be unknown until you do HT's test and more.
Oil? If still drips available and coolant not oil it would rinse off with water - oil wouldn't,
