Head gasket is blown. Several things happen when you lose the head gasket:

1. Cylinder compression pressure leaks into the cooling passages causing your cooling system to fill with air and overpressurize.

2. Cylinder and manifold vacuum suck coolant in and blow it out the tailpipe.

3. Coolant leaks into the crankcase, hence the coolant in your oil.
