its either condensation or its as you say coolant from a cracked head, block or headgasket.

you can try and taste it and spit it out, if its sweet its antifreeze.

you can perform a compression test to see what it is also

or you can use additives and special paper to see if theres combustion gasses present in the antifreeze.
