Trans Am not starting.

When i was driving to work the other day my Trans Am(1979 403 6.6L) started "Knocking". I got to work and the sound wasnt that bad but i was going to take it in to see if something was wrong the next day. So im on my way home and my car starts to overheat but i make it to my house and take a peek under the hood. The breather valve was blowing out smoke pretty bad.

So the next day i go to start it up. 1 Click and fan//belts move an inch. Same for everytime i try to start it. I notice a antifreeze leak under the body(not sure where its comeing from but somewhere not visible from top or bottom of car. I cant move the car and its on uneven ground so cant jack it up. I check the oil level and its "High"(strange i think). Then i check the antifreeze level and its fine. But under closer inspection i think there is oil in my antifreeze and antifreeze in my oil ORRR water.

So does this mean i have water in my engine?? Or is it just gaskets breaking and i probably have to rebuild?? I know i can check to see if waters in my engine by removing spark plugs 1 by 1 and trying to start.

Im not sure. Im takeing it to my mechanic today but any input would be very appreciated!

Thanks Robert
