It sounds like the engine is using it during the combustion process. This is caused from a failed head gasket.

And/or failed turbos. The EB turbos are cooled by engine coolant and the seals can be toast allowing the coolant to be sucked out the exhaust.

Check for leak beneath plastic coolant reservoir tank. There is an L - shaped plastic connector for the hose. It tends to fail !
