Welcome to the forum, if that is antifreeze in the floor, I suspect a bad heater core.

That would also make the car run hot?

Possibly on your question, and there could be two different issues. If your losing coolant, get it fixed. Does the radiator fan run ok?

Fan works fine, jus moved it and its smoking and the oil is milky so I'm guessing its the head gasket right

Some makes, have had trouble with intake gasket. That shouldn't cause coolant in the floor-board.
