Problem!

Just picked up a low mile pristine Boxster. Wasn't driven much.
It appears to be leaking what appears to be antifreeze from offset left or drivers side from underneath.
Yesterday I had to put a small amount of antifreeze in it as it triggered the low coolant light.
Light went out.
Took the car for a drive today and sure enough it smokes.
I cant tell if there is oil mixed in with it but it doesnt smell as sweet as when other cars ive had were smoking due to antifreeze.

I haven't gone underneath it yet but any early ideas?
There are some spots on the cardboard I put underneath...Drivers side, maybe right above where the axle is....

Of course im thinking cracked block or blown head gasket....I hope not.
