It could be a damaged or loose radiator hose, a damaged radiator, a faulty radiator cap, blown head gasket. Have a look around all the hoses and see where the water is coming from and then use common sense.

Why coolant leaks when engine is off but heat wont work when engine running?
The heat is not working because you are very low on coolant, probably because of the leak. Seems to me that it should leak worse when it is running, so I am going to assume you are talking about the coolant overflowing the reservoir, in which case goes back to you being low on coolant and the engine boiling the coolant.
Does car need to be running when putting in coolant?
yes, should never add coolant to cold engine
How does the coolant reservoir work?
when the engine is running and coolant will become hot to its operating temperature,the cooling system is under pressure,coolant will overflow and goes to coolant reservoir.when the engine goes cold coolant will go back to the rediator.

If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.

What causes engine overheating?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I can think of several things : In no particular order : - low engine coolant level , or no engine coolant because of a leak - engine thermostat sticking closed - restricted ( dirty ) radiator - water pump not circulating the engine coolant because of an impeller or belt problem - a problem with the engine cooling fan not running so air flows through the radiator any body else have any ideas ?
