Is this car automatic or 5 speed. Sounds like a leak coming from one of the coolant hoses from the head. Check the 2 smaller hoses on the back of the head maybe one of the clamps is worn and wont hold tight any longer

It is not that hard to find a coolant leak. Posting on a forum with no pictures will definitely not help you diagnose it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this seems to be an isolated case. You might even wanna check your radiator or reserve to see if you see coolant there also. The good thing about coolant is that it takes alot to dry it up so its easy to see

Check the hoses on the intake mani and stuff, and the sensors on the side of the head, maybe one is loose and streaming down the trans. Also, check the bolt torq on the i/m over on the side where those hoses are, there also a gasket thats in the side of the i/m gasket for a coolant passage, if you cant find the leak you may try that and see what you get
