is this the result of an oil cooler leak? Have not heard of a heater core getting clogged before.

Default Calgon or other dishwasher soap...
was suggested and used by others on the urS list to clean out the cooling system after say mixing two incompatible collants resulting in gelling. This would seem to like something to use after you get some flow tho since you say it is "totally plugged". Note this is soap for the dishwasher not the high sudsing stuff for hand dishwashing.
