Could be a cracked head, blown head gasket, blown intake gasket. I would run a compression check, and if all was OK, I would replace the intake gaskets. If that doesn't fix it, then I would have the heads checked for cracks.

I'm with GMTech, check the intake gaskets first. They very often fail such that antifreeze gets into the crankcase. Look at the corners where its water passages are; if you can see any sign at all of water on the outside, chances are it's leaking to the inside too.
If the car works fine other than the leak, in particular if it has never overheated, then it's probably not a cracked or warped head or a bad head gasket or cracked casting. Intake gaskets are fairly easy to replace, start there.
