One possibility is the engine oil cooler, but I would imagine that oil would get into the water if that were the case, as the oil pressure is around 60 psi while the coolant is only 10 psi. How many hours are on the motor? My guess would be that the cylinder sleeves cavitated through, or the o-rings began to leak. If this is the case, it will need a full tear down, new rings and sleeves at the least, and I've always heard it recommended that when coolant gets in the oil, the main bearings should be replaced as well. Cavitation erosion is pretty common on the wet sleeve motors. It will always occur eventually, but you can slow it down by making sure your pressure cap is holding the right amount of pressure, that the coolant gets drained at least every two years, and the coolant filter gets changed every year. We drain our coolant every year, but don't have the filter to clean out the garbage that is in the system. Also, be aware that if you have hard water, that may contribute to the problem if it is mixed with the coolant.
