Hello,
What you tried to add coolant into the radiator to see where it is leaking from?
Typically, one of the two radiator hoses and burst or simply come off due to being worn.
Visually do an inspection to see if you can tell where the leak might be coming from.

As for if the engine is good or bad, you will have to first see if you can have coolant in the system, if the coolant stays in the radiator, then try to start it if it starts runs fine without overheating it should be okay.
But the first step would be to figure out where the leak is. Then see if the radiator holds coolant. Keep in mind that sometimes a bad radiator cap and let coolant come out of the radiator.
You can also do a pressure test to see if the radiator is leaking.
