Car overheats while stopped. drivers floorboard is wet. Replaced all hoses and thermostat. Visibly leaking from front of engine compartment on drivers side. ---

It sounds like you still have at least two coolant leaks, one for the heater core and another under the hood. I would check the freeze plugs under the intake manifold. ---

Leaking what? Water? Coolant (smells a little sweet, feels a bit oil)? Oil (smells and feels oily)? Does it still overheat when stopped? Are your engine cooling fans running when the engine is hot?
