Car?

The oil leak is easy to fix by installing a new rubber seal on the bolt.

It's the overheating you need to fix before driving the car again. If the thermostat is old, replace it and check for a coolant leak from the radiator.

first find out the reason WHY the radiator is empty!! Where's the leak?? Pointless to refill it just to have it leak all out again..

After you replace the thermostat and bleed, pressure test the cooling system.

This could be your problem. Besides fully diagnosing the coolant system.
