Sounds to me like possibly the "O" rings at the bottom of the cylinder
sleeves and you should deffinetly stop driving it as coolant is not a good
lubricant. They keep the crankcase oil and the coolant around the sleeves
appart. A perfect time for new head gaskets! Others may have another
suggestions.

Good luck
