Without knowing exactly where the leak is, it's hard to be specific.
However, coolant leaking from the engine at any place that
is not involved with the cooling system is a badthing.
Since you state that the leak is at the back of the motor, I think
that It could be a blown head gasket, or it could be a cracked
engine block. Either case is serious.
This is something you should address soon, if you plan
to keep the car.
