Not good, sounds like a blown head gasket problem, you can buy a DIY kit from your local parts store and just follow the directions.

A worn out timing chain can cause heat soaking (what you're describing). Does the engine also lack power? Does the transmission shift late? More systems of a worn timing chain. Hope that helps! Jim

Any white smoke out the tail pipe when first started cold, maybe a slight misfire when first started? Not enough for the check engine light to turn on. I'm still leaning to a blown headgasket.
