Battery is too low to turn the engine over. Get it jumped and drive it to AutoZone. They will run a free diagnostic and tell you whether it's the battery or the alternator.

BY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE A BELT ISSUE, WHAT I WOULD IS OPEN THE HOOD AND LOOK DOWN AND SEE IF THE BELT IS STILL THERE, IF IT IS GRAB IT AND PULL ON IT MAKE SURE IT ISN'T TO LOOSE. IF ALL IS GOOD THERE I WOULD GET THE ALTANATOR CHECKED OUT SOULD BE PUTTING OUT 14.6 VOLTS WHEN RUNNING. TRY THAT HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
You need to find the source of the leak. it hasn't overheated yet because you keep catching it and re-filling. From your description, it sounds a lot like a bad water pump seal (part of pump) but without physically looking you can't be sure of that. when the pump seal begins to fail, internal pressure while running often will drive the seal tighter against the shaft stopping the leak. as pressure drops as the engine cools, the seal relaxes and permits seepage. With time, that will change and it will leak all the time.
The ignition relay is faulty.
Look into that.

Check battery terminals make sure they are not corroded and that the are tightly secured. If all is good the battery is at fault. Replace battery and then have charging system checked to make sure the alternator is working fine. Or you can remove the battery and have it load tested a t an Auto_zone for free.
