Unusual for a v6, but it does sound as though the seal between an oilway and coolant passage has broken down.
Sniff test is a good idea, but if combustion gasses aren't entering the coolant system it may prove inconclusive, it would be worth getting some quotes for a head gasket change, as it will be better to do it sooner rather than later.
