Not good. I had this problem on a vehicle before and it turned out that one of the freeze plugs in the head had a pin hole in it, but that was a old engine. Chances are it's a bad head gasket.

Rene,
do a leakdown test. Pull the rad cap when you do the leakdown test and see if anything happens when the cylinder is pressurized. Go one by one and check as the leak might be on any of the 4.
That way you can make sure whether it is a headgasket leak or the leak is elsewhere.
