It sounds like you have a leaking intake manifold or head gasket. This needs to be repaired soon because the antifreeze will wear out the engine bearings very prematurely.

Could be a few things. Does it leak antifreeze? if so, fix the part that leaks. If not, you could have coolant mixing with oil inside the engine, which burns it. check your spark plugs. If they are white, you are probably burning antifreeze - fix immediately. your exhaust will smell "sweet" as well if you are burning antifreeze.

Why is antifreeze leaking under both sides of the engine on the ground of a 1994 dodge caravan?
Because you have an antifreeze leak. It could be a coolant line, it could be a head gasket... you actually have to look for it to determine where it's coming from. Pressurize the system - Harbor Freight sells a complete radiator pressure test kit for something like $85. You pressurize the system, then you take a flashlight, get under there, and locate the leak. Then you repair it.
Could antifreeze be leaking from the water pump gasket?
Yes, antifreeze can leak from a water pump gasket.
Is antifreeze combustible?
Antifreeze is composed of mainly ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, both of which are combustible. So yes, antifreeze IS combustible. However, neither of these compounds is very easily ignited. But although it is HIGHLY unlikely that antifreeze could start a fire, antifreeze could be dangerous if it actually gets hot enough to burn (such as in an ongoing structure fire).
Your car is leaking antifreeze you think your water pump went up but the car wont start what could the problem be?
Blown head gasket. But with a blown head gasket wouldn't you notice a kind of milkyness to the oil when you checked the oil because of the mixing?
