COOLANT LEAK?

I have a 02 f250 7.3 260k miles. Several mods nothing done to injectors. About a month ago i noticed white smoke more than usual when first cranked temp about 60 out i drove it when i push throttle white smoke just dumped out like a fogger after about 2 minutes of driving slow through neighborhood smoke would stop. Next time i crank in the morning or 2 no smoke at all. Then another morning it would do the whole white smoke fog again. I replaced glow plug relay. I have not checked glow plugs. I also noticed my "degaser bottle"? Was empty i filled it with fleet guard antifreeze week later no fluid in degaser bottle no puddles no leaks. I kept a check on fluid it stayed low. Drove it 30 minutes tried to overheat filled with water got it home. Tried to crank 3 mornings ago wouldnt crank sounded like batts dead or bad starter yesterday morning fired up like a new one no smoke i let it idle for 30 minutes it started blowing antifreeze from hole in degaser bottle by the cap. Its a new cap the fluid was past full mark i emptied some out got it to normal fill line it keeps building pressure and blowing out. What would make this happen. I probably rambled its late im tired and im over this truck.
