Try looking at the underside of the oil filler cap. Is there any sludge? Does the exhaust give out white smoke?
Could be head gasket or cracked cylinder head at worst.

if you take it to a garage they can pressure test it with a "pump" that goes onto your water cap which they then pressure up to see if there are any leaks. might be worth trying!
