    It could be an indication of warped or cracked head, bad head gasket... or perhaps something minor. However, an engine under a load builds up major cylinder pressures and will heat up very quickly. This could indicate that combustion gases are leaking into the water jacket.

    There are tests that a tech can do, compression test and there is a chemical test that can detect combustion gases in the coolant.
