could be two issues first i would disconnect the battery > then i would investigate why the anti freeze is leaking > one possibily is that anti freeze could be leaking into the cylinder so i would first eliminate that by removing all the spark plugs and turning the engine over by hand and checking to BE SURE that all the cylinders are DRY>if there is anti freeze in any cylinder correct the problem > if there is no anti freeze in the cyls then i would move on to find the external leak> a presure tester would be handy to test the cooling system for leaks >and correct as neccasary>you say you you were getting ready "TO START AGAIN i am not clear on this did you already have it running yet ,or is this your second attempt to start it and was delayed cause of the spark problems in the starter switch >IF and i say IF the motor is locked up cause of anti freeze has filled a cylinder this would cause a problem in the starter circuit >THATS hwy i insist you throughly check out the anti freeze issue then procede to eliminate the starter probs good luck and keep us posted ~J
