My drive belt broke while driving on the Interstate. When car engine died, I let the car coast to a stop. As we coasted, steam came from under the hood (water pump was disabled by loss of belt).
Towed car home the next day; checked the oil for water and the antifreeze {in the radiator overflow} for oil. Both appeared to be fine.
Replaced the drive belt, filled radiator. Hooked battery up to another vehicle with jumper cables to charge battery. Car turns over (sounds kind of whiny), but will not start.
