Check your oil ,does it look milky, conduct a coolant pressure test, see if coolant is leaking on to the ground anywhere . Pull your plugs out see if any of the have a coolant smell to them, conduct a compression test on each cylinder. You may find an issue . It seems you may have a head gasket issue. Not for certain at this time. Tests must be done . Let me know the out come please thank you. I know it sound like a lot of work , but this is called pin pointing .
