Its probably a blown headgasket, especially if it starts overheating every now and then. Thats what happened to me anyways.

Fill your radiator up and do a leakdown with the cap off. Let the leakdown force air into your cylindeer for about 30 seconds and notice if any air bubbles come out of the radiator.

I used to get those issues every now and then. When i pulled the head it was always small tiny hair line cracks in the upper area of the sleeve.
