Yes. Original gaskets start leaking oil externally. But at this age and probably already being replaced they can leak coolant and ocassioally over heat too. Radiators crack they loose like half or more of their material density over 5-10 years or something like that. It's not a surprised it failed or that it may have failed due to the job being done. There's a coolant hose that runs across the front bottom of the engine, make sure it's not that. If the radiator wasn't burped they can also overheat from having air in them. And the overheating and over pressurize the overflow tank which spews coolant everywhere and looks like a leak, but it is not. **It sounds like you filled it up and it just started coming out so that does seem to confirm a leak but I thought you should know these do overheat when they get air into them. Fill nose up and top off after running/cooling. The air bubles don't allow it to suck coolant in the from the overflow tank so that's not an ample solution to air.

Some tests need to be done. - of volt meter on battery negative post. + of volt meter on + battery post - off, and running at Idle, and 1500RPM +/-. + of meter on the big terminal at the back of the alternator, running at Idle, and 1500RPM +/-. Another handy one- voltmeter one lead on + battery, other on the alternator big terminal. Need to determine what is going on. 14V running isn't too far out of normal. The difference in voltage at the battery term vs alt term gives an indication of how much current is flowing. At idle, the stock alternator does not put out it's full rated amps, since the RPM is too low.
