There are other tests you should do to prove this.

Sounds like a bad head gasket.

One possible test. Run it let it heat up. Stop it remove spark plugs and injection wires to stop fuel.

Have an assistant turn the car over. Look for mist out the plug holes.

Does one of your plugs have a odd color be the others.?

Fuel pressure problem?

Sorry I gave you a gas motor test.

Temp.sensor is messed up? So the cold start process doesn't happen correctly...

Any. Codes
