It might be a freeze plug open on the motor (a safety feature). Once the level gets low enough, it will stop leaking.

ANS 2 - More likely is that it's leaking while the engine is running and hot. Check at the base of waterpump. Also any hoses to heater,etc. If you don't see any leaks and it still leaks it may be the head gasket. ( Let's hope not.)

Can you put straight antifreeze in a radiator?

You may do so, however you car will not run at it' s optimum temperature. Because antifreeze is "thicker" (viscosity wise) than water it retains heat longer. Some people run only water and this cools the car fine however......water doesn't contain the lubricating and anti corossion properties that antifreeze does (let's not forget that antifreeze when mixed 50/50 with water keeps you engune from freezing in cold weather)..... If you run ONLY water (i.e. Have no issues with freezing) add a pruduct such as "waterwetter" or "black ice" for lubricity purposes.
