It's good it's not getting into the oil yet.
Try the blue devil big bottle, about 38 bucks and follow the instructions. Imo it won't hurt a thing. I've torn motors down after it's been put in and seen no issues.
Ive seen it work.

Going to back up what Jason said. Really, really sounds like the head gasket. The $2k price tag made me glad I do my own work. I just had a similar situation on one of my cars, a 20 year old Civic with 184k on the motor. Took me an entire weekend of work, but only a few hundred in parts. The additive definitely won't hurt. I haven't seen much success with it, but in your position I would definitely give it a shot. $40 is easier to swallow than $2000, and if it works, great. Keep us posted.
