Hi check your engine oil.If there is anything strange(water) then it must be your engine upper head cover gasket...

Yea sounds like a blown head gasket to me. Not good.... if your handy you can do it your self but its not the easiest fix for a novice

Probably blown head gasket but the oil cooler is water cooled and there could be a cross-contanimation of oil/water in this area too....have a good look at the oil cooler at the front/bottom of the engine where the CAC and radiator are located.:freak3:

Might be heat exchanger as mentioned or a head gasket.

I saw on another CRD forum,Lost I think, that someone had a similar problem with a suspect blown head gasket and fixed it with "Bars Leak Sealant"

I do not trust these sealants too much but maybe it is worth a try before having an expensive head job done!
