chevy s10 engine horror Sign In

dont even know where to start but most importantly i have

1998
chevy
s10
v6
165,000mi.

everything is falling apart but lets start at the top. the engine is overheating even though there is plenty of fluid/coolant in the radiator.There is water leaking from the tailpipe which i am told is probably a blown headgasket and when i got it started today to add a little more coolant the engine started smoking white smoke and when i turned it off and look underneath the vehicle where i heard a loud sizzling noise there was a puddle of this greyish brown goopy liquid leaking out onto the ground. help this is way out of my league.

side note don't know ifit helps i just had an oil change and replaced my feul filter. thanks for any incite anyone can give me on this

Could be "game over" for that engine by the time goo is pouring out and water out tailpipe it could be lots more than just a head gasket job.

Decision time - whole replacement of engine new or used or try to fix this one up??
