How do you know it's going out the exhaust? If it is your exhaust will have a sick very sweet smell to it. If it is coming out your exhaust it's one of three things none of which are good. The best being blown head gasket, the others are a cracked cylinder or a cracked head.

What you need to do is find a radiator pressure and test the cooling system.If you continue to ride it the S--t will eventually hit the fan.I agree with the other posts, although a stuck thermostat or a bad water pump may be a contributing factor.Check your oil for signs of antifreeze contaimation.I would park it and test the cooling system. Remove the spark plug when the test is performed.You may hear a hiss. A warped head will eventually cost you $$$ if you keep riding it, Ken.

Yeah, the worse thing you could do is keep riding it.

Hope it's the head gasket.
