1991 lumina trouble starting / makes horrible noise!need help!

About 2 months ago my 1991 euro 3.1 stalled , and wouldnt fire up.I parked it and forgot about.Today i charged the old battery and was playing around with the car .I found that it had no oil ( doesnt leak oil) and the anti freeze overflow (it was filled with a thick muddy like liquid.

So first thing i did was add oil , then i took out the anti freeze over-flow and cleaned it.After doing that i finnaly got it to start!

So i took it for a spin and i stalled twice , luckily i was able to fire it back up.When i got back home and parked it i left it on for about 10 mins and then stepped on the gas and it stalled , and then smoked abit.

Anyone know why its stalling ? It also makes a horrible banging noise and the back smokes and smells horribly!

Im thinking i blew a gasket , im not sure so please all help is appriciated.

The engine only has 86,000 miles.

running it with no oil toasted the crank bearings, so you engine is done. The banging you hear is the rod hitting the crank.
