Provided there is no water in the car and it is not subjected to freezing temperatures there would be no problem. If you are going to let it sit unstarted for any length of time, all fluids should be drained, the tires would be treated, it should be resting on blocks or jackstands securely, and the battery should be removed. It would be best if you could store it in an enclosed storage like a garage or at a storage facility, with desicant packets in boxes surronding it, but if this is not an option, cover it with a car cover or tarp.

It may have overheated and boiled over. It may be a small leak in a hose or the water pump. You'll have to find out where it's comming from before you can figure out what is going on. If the car is sitting for a while, check the coolant reservoir for leaks.
