The top of the plastic reservoir has a slight crack and caused the engine to over heat on a highway after 15 km drive. The unit was then replaced and after 4 km driving, the top radiator hose busted and the lights were on. The car was then parked over night and the hose was replaced . After 13 km driving with good engine performance, the car was parked. Will not start after and found water in engine oil. Please help out by identifying possible causes. Many Thanks!

Coolant usually enters the engine either through a bad head gasket or intake gasket.
