Very common with a blown head gasket, though I’m not sure how often that happens in modern cars

Very often with modern smaller turbo motors. The head is under pressure and sooner or later, the head gasket fails.

Cracked coolant port(s) in the cylinder head usually. Although, I’ve seen people put washer fluid in power steering reservoirs. So yeah pouring coolant directly into the engine could also result in this nightmare.
/Also in modern cars, the liquid/liquid oil coolers fail surprisingly often.
