I means either a blown head gasket, warped or cracked head or block. It also means that if you continue to run your car like that it will be hydrolocked in no time at all!

Does your car have a oil cooler, if it does it may be busted in side the cooler.

This is worth checking into as well, but I have a hunch its elsewhere given it's history. BTW you CANNOT reuse the headbolts on these engines.
