Crack in the block, Cylinder head gasket, Crack in the head. Actually I would try pressurizing the cooling system with a dye in it. Then remove spark plugs and see which cylinder (if any) has the dye. If the dye is present the it is either a cylinder head crack or a bad gasket. If it is just in the pan the you have a cracked block. For either the bad block of head I would get it magnifluxed to find out for sure before turning to new parts.

Hope this helps

there is a possibility that your intake manifold gasket has failed, dumping coolant where it should not go.

I would bet on this one. This is very common.
