Remove the plugs and check the spark plug and head openings for durt and corrosion. Replace the copper spark plug ring gaskets with new uncompressed ones.

Are they leaking around the place where the plug screws into the head, or where the porcelain shank meets the base? If the bubbles are coolant, it is a good bet the head is damaged, and will have to come off for inspection. If you are lucky, it will be the head, and not a block crack allowing coolant into the three cylinders. Leakage into the cylinders can result in "hydrolock" which can destroy the engine if it is growing.
