Where is it leaking at? Is it gushing out or just seeping when the motor warms up? I am not sure where the freez plugs are on your motor but I would get a list of all of them and at least you could be sure you checked them all before thinking the worst. I baught a truck one time that we thought had a cracke block but turned out to be a rusted out freez plug. the water gushed out all the time but the whole in it was large. fixed it and the motor ran fine. good luck hope its just a plug

Where is it leaking? Does it overheat? Common places to look, the weep hole in the bottom of the water pump, front of the heads where the lower intake manifold meets the heads, and where the water pump mounts to the timing chain cover. If you need to wrap the distributor in a plastic bag and go nuts on the front of the engine at the car wash.
