It is not "normal" for your car to be leaking ANY THING, dear. Get some one who knows what end of the wrench to use and check it out. If it is leaking from the pump, you don't have much time before BIG damage will happen. There is a small bleed hole in the bottom of the pump housing where the shaft comes out, just for that reason. As the bushing ages, some will leak (on purpose) out that hole to warn you the pump is going out.

No, definitely not. If it's a very small leak and you are strapped for cash, don't worry, but definitely have it checked out by a mechanic in the near future. You definitely don't want to lose all your coolant! The coolant is what keeps the engine at the correct temp. No or low fluid will cause the engine to run too hot, overheat, and destroy your engine. Worst case scenario is that you have a leak from your radiotor. Best case scenario is that it is leaking from an poorly mounted or cracked hose.

No, usually leaking antifreeze signifies some sort of problem. That being said, if the car was severely overheating, the coolant can expand so much that it fills up the overflow tank and spills out some. More likely, however, is a loose clamp, cracked hose, and the like. Have someone who is familiar with cars look at it for you, or take it to a repair facility.

No, that's not normal.
You probably have a hole in a hose or the radiator itself. There could also be a problem with the thermostat.
Does the car ever over-heat? Temperature gauge show a high indicator or does the temperature light come on?
Have it checked out and have the cooling system pressure tested before you end up with a bigger problem.
If left alone, problems like this only get worse and could lead to a cracked head, or worse.

only if it is coming out of the over flow but take it to a shop and have them do a pressure test to find out were the leak is coming from

Anything leaking is not normal.
I suggest getting it checked, I beleive you should get your coolant flushed. But check with mechanics to make sure.

No it's not. You could be having a problem with one of your hoses or with your water pump. Get it checked out as soon as possible.
