you could try smoke test or tube to ear to try and locate leak?

do you smell any antifreeze under hood? or see any? you can do pressure test to see if it comes out around manifold.

there is coolant leaking from the lower intake i am getting it replaced on monday. the engine was burning antifreeze so do you think it would be a good idea to replace the plugs too?

might as well just to make sure you have good spark at all cylinders.
