Default Fluid Leaking From Between The Oil Pan & The Block

I check my car when I got to work today and it was leaking radiator fluid from between the oil pan and the block. It has been over heating off and on the last few days. Can someone tell me how to fix this. Do I just need to change the gasket on the oil pan.

the oil pan gasket seals oil, not coolant. your problems lies elsewhere.

if its coming from the front make sure your freeze plugs are tight in the front of the block. if its coming from the back odds are its a leaky hose or o-ring on the hard water pipe

yeah, and if its leaking by the timing belt area, then it most likely your water pump
