I doubt that the oil cooler getting plugged would cause a no-start, although it may be leaking.

If it's leaking coolant into the cylinders (head gasket or cylinder wall perforation from cavitation), then it might be hydrauliced (cylinder full of incompressible fluid).

But the curl of smoke rising from the area between the battery and PS compressor would make me closely inspect the battery cables for interior corrosion. It may be that they're not wire anymore, but green goo inside the insulation.

Good luck with it.
