Sounds like head gasket to me. Both of mine went out around 120K mi.
My Aero leaked externally by cylinder #1 (Right Front Corner) onto exhaust manifold so it steamed at stoplights.
My CSE the reservoir would slowly get lower. I also would get a slight external leak in winter/cold. I torqued the head bolts more, I did not loosen I just torqued more. I think I drove it for a year before the head gasket finally went out and over pressured the reservoir.
Neither of mine leaked into an oil galley as my oil stayed good. If your oil is contaminated I think you want to get it out.
Both of my head gaskets failed next to cylinder #1.
Looking at the old head gaskets it looks like there is a water passage but no hole in the head gasket where it is so I think it finally wears through (Just my speculation).
