This sounds like a classic case of a blown head gasket. You can look for signs of leaks where the head meets the block, but the best test is a compression test.

Replacing the head gasket is a fairly big job. If you decide to do it yourself, you'll want a Haynes or Chilton manual to guide you through the job.
