don't drive it...likely either a head gasket or intake gasket. Water in the pan will destroy your crank and rod bearings. Tow it to a shop or do some testing and find out what has failed

Most likely cause is the intake gasket leaking. The 3.1(4) and 3.8s are bad about it. Possibly a head/head gasket, but not as likely.
