radiator leak, hose leak, water pump leak, block drain plug loose, radiator drain plug loose, cracked block, cracked head, etc etc. Is there white smoke coming from ur exhaust? If it is then it is leaking into ur engine somehow. If not then it is an extrenal leak someplace else. Head gasket is usually the source u look at when u have white smoke thru ur exhaust but not always the problem.

yeah these guys pretty much sums it up. it will either rise up as smoke, or leak out as a liquid. run ur car a bit and then see where its coming out from. i had a problem myself, couldn't find out why, darn thing piss me off. well one day i parked my car on my driveway which was slanted upwards, later i saw a green fluid flowing down the car to the gutter, oops. did a thorough investigation when the coolant was really warm but not cold or hot. when its cold, there is no pressure to force the antifreezed out from the leak, when its hot, i might get burn from trying to identify the problem. turns out, my the radiator plug that was on my teg, didn't really belong on my teg in the first place and fluid was being sprayed out when there is enough pressure.
