Most likely blown head gasket(s). You should have your mechanic do a CO test on cooling system to verify it. Check oil level - engine has a low oil level sensor. It should turn on message when oil is about 2 quarts low. Change oil - probably related to overheating, oil life will rapidly go towards 0 when engine overheats.

Blown head gaskets are expensive. Although I have had not luck with it, there are the "head gasket in a can" products out there. Some are not compatible with antifreeze so you know.
