Check if water is present in engine oil or transmission fluids.
Oil would turn milky and removing the oil filler cap should indicate whereas transmisison fluid would turn pink.

If both are good, you might have a leak in the head gasket between the pressurised oil and coolant passages.

do you hav overheating or coolant losses issues?
