Seem like a blown head gasket. Do you have white smoke coming out the exhaust.

Sounds to me like a head gasket leak.

BTW...Not every head gasket leak gets coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant...sometimes it just leaks coolant out of the head into the engine compartment and sometimes into the cylinders... sometimes cylinder pressure can leak into the oil or coolant...and sometimes it just leaks oil into the engine compartment or into the cylinders too...it all just depends on what part of the gasket failed.

My wife used to have a 78 celica that had a blown head gasket. It leaked into the combustion chamber and just made steam. I just kept adding water and drove it like that a long time until one night coming home from work it started missing real bad at a light and made a lot of steam. I just kept it revved up and drove it home.
The next day I pulled the plug ( I tried #3 first for the hell of it and by luck that was the one), and hit the starter. It was like a super soaker! Squirted across the yard!
