MY CHEVY LUMINA WAS OVER HEATING DUE TO THE THERMOSTAT. THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED AND THE CAR WAS FINE. NOW THE RADIATOR HAS A SMALL LEAK AND IT, IS THAT THE CAUSE OF IT OVER HEATING?

Low coolant is a source of overheating. The radiator may be plugged, the water pump not pumping. A bad head gasket can cause this. The radiator leak may be a sign of the head gasket being bad as the system mey be getting over pressurized.
