If you are sure there is coolant in the exhaust, meaning there's coolant in the cylinders when you took out the plugs, then I would say its probably not the heat exchanger. Exchanger failure usually dumps lots of oil in the coolant and little or no coolant in the oil because the oil pressure is much higher than the coolant pressure.
