The light is not a coolant light, it is a temperature light which comes on when the temperature of the coolant is above the limits. In other words you engine is overheating. Can be defective thermostat, bad water pump, clogged radiator, or blown head gasket.
How does coolant work?
Engine coolant is what I'm assuming you are talking about. Engine coolant is a mix of water and etholyn glycol (antifreeze). It pulls heat away from your engine block that builds up from the friction of moving parts. The coolant mix allows the coolant to get cold to a point and not freeze because of the etholyn glycol. It is also not good to put straight antifreeze into your engine because antifreeze does not have as much cooling potential as water antifreeze mix. Also if you have just antifreeze in your engine the antifreeze will boil at a much lower temperature than a mix of aproxamalty 50/50.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but if white smoke is coming out of your tailpipe with the engine warmed up it sounds like you are getting engine coolant into one or more of your engine cylinders . ( bad head gasket / warped cylinder head ) Is the coolant / antifreeze mix also going into your engine oil )
Why does oil and coolant mix on the valve cover and not in the engine?
Oil and coolant should NEVER mix in an automobile. Can you be a bit more descriptive in your question? Im led to believe there is something wrong with your vehicle. I agree with him, if you have what you call a mix of coolant and oil on the valve cover you have an internal coolant leak you need to get looked ASAP. Oil and coolant do not mix anywhere, it's like if you put oil and water in a jar and shake it, it seems to "mix" but it really doesn't and it will separate when left alone. If you get too much coolant in the oil, it will take away the lubricating quality of the oil and it will ruin the engine.

Yes, a bad freeze plug can potentially allow coolant to leak into the engine and mix with the oil, causing water contamination in the oil. It is important to address freeze plug issues promptly to prevent further damage to the engine.
