sounds like the engine was cracked if its leaking from the head good luck. Should call the company where you had it installed and tell them but i know if you installed the engine its no good if you dont have the warranty and if you did they will still give you the run around. But make sure everything is hooked up right dont jump the gun check the hoses and make sure its all good and if its leaking you wated a good amount of money so good luck and hope its something minor.

If it's leaking anti-freeze from the head it could be the head gasket or something with the intake, it doesn't necessarily mean the block is useless
