HAS IT BEEN OVERHEATED?HAD SEVERAL YEARS AGO LEAK COOLANT BETWEEN THE VALVES ,SMALL CRACKS CHECK YOUR HEAD REAL CLOSE ALSO SEEN MORE HEAD GASKETS THAN ANYTHING. PUT IN DYE IN COOLANT ,YANK VALVE COVER AND PLUGS IT MAY SHOW UP WITH THAT MUCH LEAVING. A BOROSCOPE MIGHT ALSO HELP YOU .HOPE THIS HELPS

Head gasket and/or cracked cyl. head. Also look out for the valve seat dropping out of the head, it was a problem with some of the 1.9's. I've not seen much in the way of block problems, but you are adding a bunch of coolant so nothing is out of the question here.
