The water container always remains empty and is spilling on the ground when i try to put water in it. I dont see any valve damaged on the surface. What might be the cause?

This can be the water pump, radiator or radiator hose, you will need to use a flashlight to help find the leak. here is a guide to help as well:

Is the leak coming from the front of the engine? If so, chances are the water pump is leaking. It is difficult to tell with these images. Be safe while raising the car up, here is a guide to help you:

At the moment I don't know because the car is at my friend house, but if you want to know I will write you when he tells me.
