you could try pulling spark plugs, get a flashlight, and look closely at each piston... rotate the engine by hand.

If you seen an exceptionally clean piston, that would be indicative of coolant getting burned in the cylinder.

if all the cylinders look similarly dark gray or black.. I'd be looking under the carpets for evidence of a heater control valve leak.
