A blown head gasket, check the driver's side rear of the cylinder head, that is probably where the oil in coming from. Have seen hundreds of them blow from poor gasket design.

it's quiet possible you may have blown a head gasket or broke a ring, if the oil leak is coming from the carb / injector/ air filter and down the engine block .can be a cracked engine block. Overheating an engine most definately can crack the block . you also could have burnt out the front or rear main seal at each end of the engine by the overheating. For the overheating, it most likely and very common your thermastat may be stuck closed and not opening. good luck

Overheating is caused by the leaking of oil cuz your car isn't getting it's lubrication. Overheating can also be casued by a bad radiator also. The leaking oil is a common problem and is caused by a bad gasket. Replace that, and your oil problem should be solved.

Do the radiator fans work?? Try swapping out the thermostat, and a rad cap. Oil leak, it depends where its leaking from.

These cars are FAMOUS for losing the head gaskets. In all likelihood, this is the problem.

Sound to me like a blown head gasket.
I would do a compression check.
