i guess check to see where the coolant leak is from but if you blew your headgasket and are eating up coolant then its maybe your engine is low on compression to idle the right way which could be causing you to die out constantly.

what chameleon said + could be having alternator/battery issues, because if the car isnt getting enough power the brake lights will drain the lil bit thats there... but if you were low on coolent its probably more likely a headgasket leak, but doesnt hurt to check every thing.
