It's leaking out...

Probably the water pump shaft seal

Or an intake manifold leak. Is the car running OK? Check your oil.

Could be engine crack, mine 305 would do that just not as fast. When the camgear broke and I went and had the engine washed and plugged I got it back early with "we found a crack". Yep, a 2.5 inch crack in the valley on the passenger side.
