No heat, car not overheating but spilling antifreeze - Toyota Celicas

Hey all, me again with the 88gt.

Today as I was driving I noticed there wasn't any heat coming from my vents, I thought maybe the heater door was broken because the car wasn't overheating, but when I parked it a decent sized puddle of coolant came out of the overflow tank.

I'm thinking maybe the thermostat is bad? Or possibly the water pump isn't turning. What are your thoughts?

FYI its about 30° out here and I kept the car in low rpms.

Finally broke down and took it to a mechanic. Says radiator has pinhole leak which isn't allowing coolant to flow to heater core.

Easy enough fix. Will update later.

Dropped in a new radiator and thermostat. Problem fixed!
