99 ej8 wont turn over
Alright so I've been having a decent leak from having cracked the oil pan a little. Yesterday I poured about 2.5 qts of oil in and drove about 3 miles and my car started pouring white smoke from the exhaust. It died as I pulled into the gas station to fill up. I drained the oil and refilled it with a couple qts just to get me to autozone. Then I put gas in and it wouldn't start. It cranks, but wont turn over. I was already expecting my fuel pump to go out soon, so I check the filter and I have plenty of pressure going through the system. I couldn't arc the plugs because I didn't have anything capable of doing that at the time. I just replaced the spark plugs and wires not even a week ago. I replaced the dizzy rotor and the cap looks fine. I'm baffled as to what this could be. I checked the radiator and didn't see any oil in there, so I'm thinking it's not the head gasket(but definitely not ruling that out). It didn't overheat in the time that I was driving it to the gas station.
The car has 146k miles, stock everything except an intake, doesn't have overheating problems. If any additional info is needed, let me know. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: 99 ej8 wont turn over
Did you check the oil to see if it were milky at all?
"White/Gray Smoke: White exhaust smoke is an indication that coolant is burning in the combustion chamber. These are possible causes:
Cylinder Head: A crack in the cylinder head (around the coolant jacket) will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber.
Engine Block: A crack in the deck of an engine block near the coolant jacket will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber.
Head Gasket: A damaged or blown head gasket will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber resulting in white/gray smoke coming from the tailpipe."
