Welcome to Cobra ownership.....
From your description it sounds like you might have a leaking or blown head gasket.
With Cobra ownership comes a learning process. The best thing I can suggest is learning how to take care of things yourself. The first thing I would do is a leakdown test and compression test.
Being dependant on an outside mechanic is expen$ive and many times disappointing. Many mechanics have no idea what the hell they are doing. I recall a local guy with a Superformance and 460. He treated it like he bought a car from a dealer, giving it out for tuning, repairs, etc. He never had the engine running correctly and eventually sold it cheap.
I strongly suggest you start learning and, oh boy!, buying tools.
