the car started to over heat, then the coolant was being throw over to the right side of the engine. it left a puddle there in the engine area.
my brother flush the radiator out, but it still does it. i change out the heating coil no help.

If it is leaking coolant you need to track down the leak. It could be from a bad hose, bad water pump, failed gasket, failed core plug. Until you find and repair the leak it will continue to lose coolant and overheat.
You can get a pressure test kit that would help you track it down by looking for the leak on a cold engine.
