my guess, they did not purge the cooling system properly.
a trapped air bubble caused the engine to overheat.
blinking light indicate low coolant level (Vs. solid lights indicate overheat red line). hopefully the car didn't overheat enough to cause damage.
the fluid coming out with the engine off, probably coming out of the overflow line.
if your friend turned the engine off on time (before the needle made it to the red line) most chances no damage happened.
