You will have to do a few basic checks, spark, injector pulse and fuel pressure test, do this and report your findings.

I would be thinking that either the valley cover is cracked or leaking or a very bad crack in a head, with both rocker covers of, I would fill the radiator and do a pressure test, watch for the fluid running, see if you can locate where it is coming from.
