2. Can't happen.
3. Old wife's tale. Green and orange can be mixed at will.

My Guess:::::
1.  Overfilled the crankcase.
2.  Oil put in was "off the store shelf" cold into a very hot engine, may
cause fracture in block.
3.  Green coolant wasn't flushed out before the "orange stuff" was added and
it turned to sludge.....
4.  Instead of Bar Stop Leak, just a half a can of coarsely ground pepper
would have done the job with no contamination to the coolant.....
5.  Bearings are worn......but aren't they all that!
6.  With that much oil waste, I would first have suspected an oil  pressure
sending switch.......  could still be the cause....furthermore you should
see a puddle where the car parks.....just what is the location and amount of
that puddle?
