Hopefully it's just a leak. Check the water pump; that will involve climbing underneath and looking UP at the pump. There is a small "weep hole" on the shaft housing and you'll need to check the area around the hole. If there is any buildup of water deposits or anti-freeze coloring, you have a leaky water pump.

Also, check all of the hoses for indications of a leak.

When the engine is running the cooling system builds pressure. If the radiator cap is leaking the vehicle will leak coolant there.

Any small leak will leak a lot more when there is pressure inside the cooling system, whether it's the water pump, the radiator, a hose or the cap. Additionally if you see no apparent leak and especially if your oil level is above full or you see white smoke, you have a blown head gasket or cracked head. This is very serious and severe engine damage will occur unless you stop driving and have this repaired.

Is water damage from leaking window covered?

You will want to turn your claim in to make sure, but most homeowners policys will say the water must be 'weather' driven, or wind driven. A tree limb during a storm smashes a window, and rain gets in yes, there should be coverage. Old worn out windows, that have leaked for years, now have damaged walls, carpets etc, no. All losses must be sudden and accidental, and not slow deterioration.
