Have you checked your coolant level or thermostat.

Check your head gasket, you could be sucking your coolant out through
there. Would also explain how fast your car gets hot as well!!

Not immedeately, but it's sucking out your coolant, and you're loosing
compression. Plus getting coolant into your engine, via your cyliders,
can cause internal rust, and start breaking down your oil. If what I said
happens to be the problem, I would get it fixed as soon as you can.
