You need to determine where the leak is. If there are no external leaks (visible leaking onto the ground or in the passenger compartment, then it must be an internal engine leak. Check the oil; if it is white or milky you have a head gasket leak. Also check the tailpipe for white smoke. This also indicates an internal engine leak (same think possible blown head gasket).
