Does it overheat, or does the coolant level drop? It may have a blown coolant seal.

sounds like the coolant seals are done for, if they are its time for a new engine/rebuild.

Check the oil to make sure it doesn't have any coolant mixed in it.

If the exhaust smells sweet then you have a blown coolant seal, another give away is it over heats and has massive power loss (at least mine did).

a temporary and kind of risky solution to fixing blown coolant seal is to buy a engine block sealant. its not the greatest thing to do to your car but it will work and is reccomended for temporary use until you can get a new engine or w.e
