Overheating
On my way home from work today the car started overheating. I got it home and shut it off and started investigating. I immediately saw coolant puddling on the ground but it seems to be everywhere and I can't pinpoint a spot where it's generating from. It doesn't seem like it just dumped as much as just kinda poured over time. Anyone had a problem like this before? Could it be the waterpump?

it sure does
you could do a preasure test just be sure it was the radiator it will point out the where you have the crack
also check the hoses or even the sensor on the radiator mine popped out on me and car started to overheat
hopefully you fix it

Just looked at it now that it's cooled down. Radiator is full of coolant and it didn't leak all that much. Car did overheat and the heater was only blowing luke warm. Weird.

As far as I know It's all original. I'm going to tear it apart tomorrow or wednesday and try and see what the heck. The fact that it's still full of coolant does kind of point to thermostat.

check if your coolant resevoir is stained or wet with coolant. Then for sure it will be the stuck thermo since that causes the car to overheat and spill out everything like crazy through the resevoir tank.
