There are a number of things that will cause these issues, but the most likely cause is a failing engine based on this info.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this:

What I would suggest is we start with checking the compression of the engine and find out if we have a ring issue and possible head gasket issue.

Please run through this and let me know what questions you have.
