jeep help

Hey all my buddys jeep is over 220k and the thing needs some help. Hes going through a lot of coolant and most of the time hes only using water to fill it back up. On top of that theres a coating of some sort of red metal dust/ oil goop all over the engine department. I cant really think of a way to describe it but it looks as if shaved metal pieces mixed with oil and a rust colored paint. Any ideas what this is? thanks for the help

Probably water pump, but I have had a 4.0 Jeep engine crack before due to freezing and leak all over the place.
What model year and engine is it?

Another possibility is the radiator has a hole on th engine side, and it's spraying on the fan which in turn is throwing it everywhere.
