Do a compression check. You may have blown the head gasket. That's where I would start.

Along with that compression test you might consider pulling the engine oil dipstick and see if you have any moisture mixed with the oil. If it looks milky....you have a crack in the engine somewhere or a blown head gasket mentioned above.
