There is usually a noticeable aroma of anti-freeze coming from the exhaust, or bubbling in the radiator with the engine running. Also, there is sometimes oil in the radiator or anti-freeze in the oil. A compression test usually tells the story.

Coolant leaking from back? meaning exaust? If yes, then it's a head gasket or cracked head. Will not start because 2 or more sparkplugs are now wet with coolant.
