If you are lucky, a head gasket, but running right in could mean a cracked block. See if it holds compression thru the spark plug hole. Could be a freeze plug somewhere that popped out. I've owned a few Mazdas that would do that. They had a freeze plug in the cylinder head. If it is a freeze plug, don't reuse it, get a new one. On the Mazdas, I tapped for a NPT Pipe plug.
