Hate to say it Cosmo, but that sounds like either a blown head gasket or a
cracked head. Either way, the engine is coming apart again ...
You can try pressurizing the cylinders with compressed air, to verify which
one is leaking, but this doesn't always work.
However, the only other paths for coolant to get into the sump would be
either a cracked block or a cracked liner. Both of these are extremely rare
for TR motors.
