noticed large puddle of antifreeze on the ground. after driving car for about five minutes it overheats. Upon opening the hood i see antifreeze leaking on the engine abount in the middle of the car under the hood close to the firewall. Also noticed the radiator cap was not even hot. Suspect heater coil. Can you maybe confirm this and also where is it located and how do i replace.

Heater core is located underneath the dash. The outlet and inlet for the hoses are on the firewall in about the center of the firewall. You can check there for a leak.
