were you massively leaking anything? because with my general understand of motors, if there is still some coolant in the motor it wont over heat as fast as NO coolant at all. but normally if your leaking anything bad enough, you should check what it is before you drive the car

hmm... is your water pump leaking at all? like around it, under it, or anything other way?

No, the placer where its leaking is on the radiator like right under where the plug is to drain it... everything else is fine... i'm really concerned, cause i was expecting to get 1500 out of this car... and now i'm royally screwed.

If the fan is locked up then its a VERY good possibility that the h20 pump wasnt spinning at all and also couldve caused overheating.
