Can be several things.

- transmission intercooler can be leaking oil into the coolant.
- head gasket can be faulty

You probably have water in the engine oil or transmission. I think its time for a mechanic.

hummmmmmmmm and thanks benzmods

can i drive the car about 400 km at this condition to visit workshop

one more question how i can check fuse of fan because fan is not running thanks

On the side of the dashboard there is a fuse cover on the drivers side. Pull open that cover and check the blower fuse.
