The cooling system is nowhere associate with the exhaust system

Have you check the thermostat? if its completely closed you won't have anything in the heater core

probably the slooshing sound is boilover-you sure your temperature gauge is not misleading you-could be out of calibration.

Have the cooling system block and pressure tested-this will tell you something if its burning internally about heavy moisture coming out on one side.

Sounds like a blown headgasket
