No, these engines are not known for self-destructing anything other than the cams.

The inline six cylinder engine is the one with all those problems.

Ideally if they did a pressure test they should be able to find out where it's disappearing to. If you want to be extremely cautious, do a compression and/or a leak down test to verify it's not the head gasket(s). If the radiator is original, it may be ready to blow (the plastic tanks tend to fail without a whole bunch of advance warning.. but they do last a good 10 or so years).
