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.
