Did you add coolant recently? Maybe overfilled the bottle. Could also be a blockage somewhere not allowing the coolant to flow (i.e. flow into the res but not back out). Check the res cap, make sure it seats.

Could be air in the system or the radiator cap may need replacing. A faulty radiator pressure cap would cause the water to boil and get pushed out but this usually goes through an overflow pipe. Obviously you need to take a look at where and why there is water on the floor. May just be a hole somewhere causing loss of fluid. Hope you find the problem!
