Get a sniff test done. This tests for exhaust gases in the coolant bottle. I suspect the head gasket has failed between one of the cylinders and a waterway.
If you are mechanically competent you can buy your own kit, with enough test fluid for dozens of tests, for the cost of one test at the garage!

Google "block tester" for more.
