No antifreeze- can we start car?

Dear Mechanics: Yes we have a 1996 plymouth breeze with 144200 miles on it. We lost all the antifreeze thru what appears to be a container under neith the engine on the front passenger side bottom-side of engine. Container has 3 cracks in what seems to be a plastic container. We want to know if we can start car to move it as it is now? And is the container the one that holds the timing chain or belt? The car was making a terrific rattle prior to us turning it off and getting off the street.
