Default 98 camry broke down HELP!!!!

i have a98 Camry with 98000 miles, i bought it last week. It was running fine untill all of a sudden this morning it began to rattle real loud. Shorly after the ratlling started it stalled out while driving. I pulled it to the side of the road with the momentum that it had left and noticed that it was also pouring out coolant from underneath and the coolant resavoir was empty. From what i have gathered from the forum this is likely a timing belt issue. Am i correct in this assumption? what is with the leaking coolant and also will this stalling while driving cause any other problems?

HELP!!!! Thanks.

Timing belt issue would not result in coolant leaking, just a dead engine.

Check for damaged hoses, cracked radiator, etc. The engine may have over heated due to loss of coolant.
