I have turned over the car regularly, but it has not moved from my drive in this time, it has always started without problems until this week.

Or can water be sucked in and remain in the engine for some time, causing later problem? Seems unlikely, but what do I know..

Sounds like your oil cooler has failed allowing them to mix... how this ended up in the inlet manifold?????
