If it's any consolation and you can spanner it yourself, optimistically there will some if not plenty of change from a grand depending on the failed parts.

"Out of warranty" does NOT automatically mean it should not be fixed by the manufacturer....

True, but if it is the oil cooler and car wasnt ran following shutdown a flush of both systems should sort it.  But hey could be head gasket, rare though.

oil pressure > cooling system pressure

Except when the car is shut down and the cooling system is still pressurised. 

 

Yeah nah I reckon you guys are on the money. Oil cooler fails, dumps hot oil into the cooling system, temp goes up, op shuts it down and shows us a lovely pic of the coolant filled with oil.

 

Op didn't mention if he had an oil pressure warning but he did say that there was no oil on the dipstick when he shut it down. If there was no, very low or intermittent oil pressure then it is possible that some coolant got into the motor via the oil cooler.

 

Depending on how hot it got it there could be head sealing issues after repairs are made, if it is the oil cooler. If it's the coffee maker I guess he'll have to file for divorce.

 

I guess we'll have to wait and see the extent of the damage.
