Ok iv replaced thermostat and radiator but im still overheating and have no heat inside. it was leaking coolant and oil but now it seems as if its also stopped leaking coolant after replacing thermostat. then i thought the coolant was mixing into the oil but now both seem full and not mixing. What more shuld i check or do to fix this problem? Will probably also replace water pump just in case. other than that im stumped....

Can you check for coolant flow through the radiator? Do the heater hoses get hot? How hot is it getting in degrees F?

You could leave thermostat out, hook everything up, just for testing. The coolant flow should be instant with engine cranking or running. If no flow I'd suspect the water pump.
