Hey Baptized,
You need to replace ALL the gaskets that seal coolant from ANYTHING... You may have a cracked head, cracked intake manifold,, or at worse a cracked block - between the coolant passages and the combustion chamber area...If you have a aluminum intake and cast iron heads.. this is a potential leak creator when the engine gets hot and cold quickly...make sure ALL the gasket surfaces are CLEAN.. and use:

DO NOT use silicone sealant - period!

Sounds like a good diagnosis. You can remove the spark plugs and see if there is coolant in the combustion chambers. A compression check would also narrow things down. The coolant reservoir would have a smell of gas or oil. I hope there is no water in the oil. Regards, Don

You are missing a bolt, or you will have to remove one of the heads.
SOURCE: Head gasket replacement procedure
the procedure is too complicated to write in, get a good manual, drain all the fluids, you will have to bringtheheads to a machine shop for inspection, get new head bolts, a good torque wrench and angle meter, buy a complete gasket kit , intake, head, exhaust ,and such, and acouple of days time, mark all the bolts and brackets as you remove them, good idea to take pics as you go along

If there are no coolant leaks then check your engine oil to be sure it is not over full or foamy because if there is coolant getting into the oil it will cause irreversible damage to the engine. If the engine has ever over heated the head gasket/s could also be leaking and will need replaced.
