It is getting sucked into the engine through a crack or bad gasket.
needs attention ASAP. take a sniff at the tailpipe for antifreeze odor, or look for foam on the bottom of the oil fill cap. ain't good.
Hi,
I would get some UV coolant dye to make sure nothing is leaking. If nothing is leaking you may have a leaking head gasket that is leaking the coolant into the oil. If that is the case stop driving the car immediately as the coolant in the oil will totally ruin the engine and cost you even more then a head gasket repair. A new head gasket will run about 800$ from a qualified mechanic. give or take a little $.
Thank you and good luck,
lee

i had the same thing on my wifes 2000 mpv van...the ends of the radiator are made of some sort of composite type material....it had a slight crack in it....wasn't obvious until it got worse and started streaming water from it when warmed up....even after it cooled enough not to be spewing it was hard to actually see the crack though a few inches long....was hard to even see where the water and antifreeze mixture was coming from until i took out the radiator
