Get a sniff of the exhaust on a cold morning and see if you smell or
taste antifreeze.
Very likely started leaking into the intake and the fluid is being
sucked into the engine and out the exhaust. Remove the spark plugs
and see if one is gone wet or oily looking. Check the oil and see if
you have more "oil" than before. This would indicate the coolant is
also leaking into the lifter valley and crankcase. Unlikely that the
head gasket is a problem, but if you don't do the fix, you are going
to lose pistons. Antifreeze holds heat and when overheated in a
combustion chamber actually melts (More like explodes) aluminum.

I've crossposted this to 'alt.autos' so they can laugh at your defence
of your claim that the internal combustion engine works on
"explosions" and not, well, combustion.
