Your car head gasket is gone, these both symptoms straight away point to blown up head gasket. Its a big job.

Check your engine oil is shud have little traces of water mix in oil and have milky feel and smudgy feel engine oil than the usual color of engine oil. If it is then its 100% head gasket gone.

It might take 2 -3 days work and will cost i guess 2k - 3k aed outside and with dealer around 4k.
