Pull the plugs, one is probably milky just like your exhaust, then do a compression test, if the compression is down pull the cylinder head.
It sounds like it blew a head gasket.

Default Compression test and spark plug condition

The top one looked the worst (dirtiest / oily) and and that cylinder measured over 120 on compression test
The middle one looked the best (cleanest not oily) and measured around 120 on compression test
The bottom one looked dirty but not as bad as the top one and measured around 115 on compression test.
