The van is under its heaviest load in reverse because of the transmission pressure required. Also the engine rocks in a different manner in reverse a gear that is used many times in an initial take off and leave a driveway or parking spot. Maybe you have coolant leaking into your engine through a warped, cracked, or bad head or gasket. It is a biggy on your 4 cylinder. If your loosing coolant, have it pressure tested.
