Fc3c leaking coolant
I started leaking coolant and overheating a couple weeks ago, replaced both houses, put in a new thermostat, just changed the water pump today and I started it up and it was leaking again, I don't know what to do and really don't want to sell it but might have too, any thoughts???

welcome to the board.
this is strange ... you have 1 post and you're able to post in this section? anyway ... the most important thing is for you to locate the leak.
clean everything up and park the car over something (newspaper, plastic sheet, etc. - just be careful of anything that might catch fire). start it and run it until you see where it's dripping, then try to find the source.
if it turns out to be a case where there is no outward leak, then here's a more ominous scenario. check the combustion chambers after letting the car sit overnight.
on a side note: you may also want to check/replace the radiator cap(s).
