This is a stretch of an answer, but here goes. Normally engines cannot leak antifreeze out from around the crankshaft. But, you have an engine built for and designed for the Japanese market, and no one knows what they do over there for their own use. Unless the block has a crack in it or a casting that was pourous and just finally let go, there are not a lot of places antifreeze can leak. Normally it will be at the head gasket, freeze plugs, thermostat housing, etc, anywhere there the water jacket would be. Probably the easiest way to tell where it is coming from it to drain all the antifreeze from the system, seal up all the water ports, put some water with some coloring in it, then pressurize the block, then you should be able to find your leak, but you only want about 10-15# of pressure, otherwise you could blow a gasket.
