Overheating

Overheating
Guys, quick question. Car is overheating and I've checked a few things, but am wondering what certain symptoms would be for specific parts of the car that would cause overheating.
In my last car when the water pump goes out there'd be a little leak around the lip of it, when the water pump goes out on this car, what kind of symptoms would there be? What about the radiator? The engine fan is working properly, and there aren't any obvious or major leaks under the car and I haven't found any coolant leaks either.
Coolant level is topped off and oil level is also fine.
Could the thermostat be stuck open? Would that cause overheating?
Are there any other things I could be overlooking here?

i would recommend flushing it with a hose.. engine off. disconnect both hoses and flush it out connect everything top it off with water and let it warm up. then repeat the process . see if it helps.. you should be able to see how much water is flowing out thru the bottom and if there any gunk or what not coming out...
