by "leaks" alot of heat into cooling system, you mean transfers a lot of heat into the cooling system. If it easily takes heat out, why is it difficult to keep it cool?

For the engine to make power, you want to keep the heat in the chamber and the charge air. Thus heat that is transferred to the cooling system is a "leak" in that it is an unwanted flow. Since a lot of heat transfers from the chamber into the coolant, there's a lot of heat to get rid of in the coolant... This means the car needs a bigger radiator and better coolng airflow than a piston engine of equivalent power.
