IT IS NOT SIMPLE COOLANT. Don't drive your car. You have a 'Milkshake', which is oil/coolant mixed. Headgasket or cracked head is a typical cause.

Someone else weigh in..is it possible to get this from bad oil cooler O-rings? I doubt is but it is the best, bad scenario that comes to mind.

Intermix in the entire cooling system?
That may be from bad oil cooler o-rings, but most likely a cracked head.
You need to check the coolant reservoir tank in the rear trunk and see if you have the same goop in there, and check if the oil dipstick has the same stuff on it.
Best of luck, but it doesn't look really promising from the picture you've shown.
Don't drive the car!!!!
That intermix does not lubricate engine parts adequately and you will cause further bearing damage if you keep driving it.
