Battery draining fast

you may have a short circuit in the system seek auto electriction

The steam and antifreeze probabley shorted out you alternator. This will completely drain the battery. Disconnect power from alternator. here is a wire that goes to the back of the alternator that needs to be removed. It has a red boot over it. There is also a clip plug in the back or side of the alternator that you release and pull out. After disconnecting alternator, charge battery and check to see if you get power. If so replce the alternator and make repairs to stop overheat condition.

Could be the fuel pump, but if the Timeing belt/chane has never been replaced then it most likley jumped time or the belt broke

you need a draw test done on the car to start to diagnois the problem.it can take a few days to find the problem and should be done by a tech that knows how to check for electrical draws as its not an easy job to do and if you don`t know how to do this you may not find the problem or may jump to the wrong conclusion.

Try to start again, then when the engine is start, remove the negative or positive battery cable, and if the engine die, the alternator is failed., and if not dying, alternator still good. But for me the way you said, I'm 100% your alternator is died. Need to replace a new one. And if you know how to solder, just remove and replace the brusses( carbon) by soldering. ok

DEFINITELY it has an electric issue since it runs with a jump battery, have the alt checked again and the charge regulator also. Good luck

You still have two components that need checking...perhaps you have a bad battery cable?! They do corrode inside sometimes making the battery hard pressed to send the current needed to run the starter. You may get enough amps and volts to run the lights but not enough for the starter.

You can try jumping the starter with jumper cables just to see if the works. You can leave the car in park and key off since the only thing you want to do is turn the starter.

Does the starter crank the engine over?

HELLO CHARGE THE BATTERY UP AND START THE CAR AND PULL THE POSTIVE CABLE OFF THE BATTERY IF IT SAYS RUNNING YOUR ALTERNATOR IS WORKING BUT IF IT DIES THE ALTERNATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED
