Possible blown

I'm afraid something in my engine is straight F*cked, sometimes it runs really smooth, then it'll run really torquey like american muscle (kinda rough), there was antifreeze on the ground when i pulled out my car today to get it washed, and there is antifreeze dried onto the top of the radiator area ...i'm hoping this isn't normal but then again i am hoping nothing is wrong, also my antifreeze tank went from full to the empty mark in not much more than a week, i'm checking again tomorrow and calling the dealer, but do i have a good reason to?

checked the oil, oil is staying even
7500 miles on car

did jack it up to get underneath to check cat and see if i could gut it easily
some was dry some was wet
