Exclamation standard 2003 350z wont crank

I was driving my 2003 350z home from work and out of nowhere my engine shuts off, I wheel the car into a parking lot and notice white smoke coming from the front, upon further inspection I noticed coolant was coming out from the top of the resivour and touching pipes which was causing the smoke I assume all the fluid levels are good including engine oil. now the car wont start or even crank it just clicks once and does nothing, I checked the relays behind the battery by swapping them around and testing if any were blown, but the relays were fine I also checked the plastic piece that actuates the clutch safety switch and its still in tact and actuating the switch. plugged into a code reader also and didn't pull any codes, tried resetting the immobilizer as well but still no luck, does anyone have any more ideas as to why this is happening? I'm trying to avoid taking it into a mechanic or nissan but I might have to if I cant find out what's wrong.
