it is common for these engines blocks to crack between the liner bores, top and bottom. the water will follow the cracks past the o-rings on the liners and collect in the pan. check for air bubbles in the radiator,this would tell a head gasket problem. i am not an expert but i would bet on a cracked block.

Had exactly the same problem with my WD. New head gasket and 90 ft. lbs. torque solved it. I did have to make a special adapter to get torque wrench to several of the head studs -- welded a 3/4 nut about an inch up the shank of an old box wrench. Then I used the adapter on ALL of the studs so that the torque would be uniform (they may not all be exactly 90 lbs., but they ARE all the same). You may have a cracked block, but I would try the head gasket first -- easier and lots cheaper.
