1972 318, coolant getting into oil

I vote for timming cover. Happened to my dart 273 in the 80-90s.

Unfortunately oil sits on top of water so you probably ran the engine on coolant rather than oil as long as you were driving it that way. I would pull the engine and check everything.
I drove it less than 3 miles,never lost oil pressure. Let cool for about a hour and moved it into the car port,no noises, so I think I'll be ok.
