Sounds like a head gasket has failed. Are you getting a white exhaust.

After your car has been sitting overnight, go and start it and immediatly squeeze the radiator hose. If it has high pressure on initial startup then the Doc is correct.

BTW, what motor and how many miles? Is it the 3400DOHC? I think these are prone for head gasket failures.
