Posibly a freeze plug has popped. It is an easy fix if you identify this as the problem. It will look like a circle approximately 1.25" in diameter that is pressed into the block. Go to a local parts store and ask them to give you a location on the freeze plug for your make/model/year and engine displacement. Once you know where it it you can visually inspect the area to identify if it is in fact the freeze plug. Additionally a leak could be originating from the water pump and running back along the engine block. Worst case scenario would be a cracked block or a blown head gasket. Visually inspect the oil by checking the dipstick. If the dipstick is coated in a milky coffee colored or white looking oil.... it will most likely be the head gasket. I say most likely as it could also be an internal crack in the water jacket that is allowing water to pass into the oil, Water will leak from various places for various reasons. One additional possibility is a pin hole in the radiator that will force water to squirt back onto the motor giving the impression that it is leaking from the engine. If you live in Rhode Island I would be glad to help you out, but in the meantime go with the simplest and cheapest diagnosis first until you locate the source of the leak.
