As far as I know there is only 1 situation where oil and water meeting isn't catastrophic - the Oil cooler 'O' rings.
Head gaskets leaking appears to be very rare.
Cracked head might be in play here.
The other question is - what would cause coolant to spew from the radiator end of the car not the Overflow in front of the right rear tire?
Would a cracked head allow pumping air into the Cooling system (like a leaky head gasket) causing so much pressure that it blew a weak area in the radiator system?

Good luck with this
