Antifreeze and oil don't go well together.

You meant ninjas.


As for the OP, I would not quite know what/where to do/look for. However, antifreeze, to my knowledge, generally is in the radiator, and if it is leaking elsewhere, it could be a serious problem down the road. I suggest having it looked at.

Unless you meant what could have CAUSED it, iin which case I'd just say any serious impact to your car. Walls, posts, other cars, parking blocks, etc. Those could all do it.

Your engine doesn't run does it?

It sounds like you have a blown head gasket.  I'm pretty sure that's what it is.  A somewhat pricey repair that is.

Better get that checked out by a mechanic.

You need to take that in to get checked.

There's a leak somewhere.

Or possibly a cracked block, which is even more expensive.
