...in another post within this last week.
You may have a dying head gasket as mentioned by NickNick.
You may have 20 year old hoses.
You may have an oddball thing like what occurred on my 9000 turbo...a crack in the throttle body warming area that allowed fluid to dump into the intake. I had to block off the heater pipes to the throttle body, and that solved it. (this was an oddball situation though).
If I were you, I would think headgasket. Try removing the valve cover and see if the head gasket is pushing its way into the timing chain area. If you see any paper/gasket material at all in the timing area, you need a HG.
Best,
C
