with a polymer coating that dramatically reduces scoring and prolongs life.
It seems that you are only worried if the car will leave you stranded, not if it is bad for the car to drive around
with (possibly) a bad
head gasket.
You can test your rings and
head gasket with a leak down tester Checking your spark plugs as shown in @Zaid's post is the first order of business.
You can do a compression test to check for
head gasket failure, which involves removing each spark plug in turn and replacing it
with a gauge that reads the amount of compression in the cylinder - if the
head gasket is blown, one or two will be well below the others.
I agree
with the suggestions that it is most likely a
head gasket problem — I don't think it is a turbo or a piston ring problem.

with pressure, this includes pipes,

with relatively few problems?
leave cap off make sure fill
with antifreeze and start car allow it to warm up and watch u should be able to see the water flow this will allow the air to come out per air pockets are a big cause... now buy a new radiator cap per this also small but cause a big prob... also while watching the water flow flow if bubbles stay present it could be
head gasket this pushes combustion gas thru and can cause antifreeze to dicipate hence why u keep having to put more unless yur pump leaking or hose this the only other way u will get low on anti freeze... hope this helps it took me a while to figure out so i did nt have to spend lots of cash on a mech that wouldnt probably now this either top secrets lol... they wont tell u its all biz... hope this helps
In your case,
with excessive oil and coolant use, there is a good chance you have a bad
head gasket, or
gaskets.
Probably the most common cause of that is a
head gasket with a leak between the two, which could be caused by high compression / detonation (there are several possible causes for that including incorrect ignition timing, low octane gasoline), an engine overheat, uneven
head bolt torques and / or a defective
head gasket.

Like Vs boxers are more complex that straight engines, having 2 cylinder
heads with associated
head gaskets, exhaust manifolds etc., and double the number of camshafts, more complex camshaft chains or belts and more complex cooling.
The worst case would be a deep
gasket failure (i.e.
head) where coolant is mixing
with oil, but you're not seeing any leaks..
Best guess based on your explanation: First the water pump quit / died, then engine overheated as a result and it remained running overly - hot for sometime thereafter, which (likely) led to
head gasket failure, which resulted
with coolant in the oil and the performance symptoms.
The why is learned data that has been lost typically
with light of parameters, coolant temperature and maybe engine repairs that make changes in Combustion temperature such as replacing leaking
head gaskets.
