overheating.. changed water pump, thermostat, radiator, upper and lower hose, fan switch/temp sensor, flushed system completly and the overflow tank still gets full and leaks on the ground and when enough coolant leaks out then it overheats.

i did try bleeding the coolant and still the car overheats. i cant understand what else could be causing this car to overheat. i even put a 165 degree thermostat in and no luck. the fans are working???? i am stumped. i have had two other mechanics look at it and they have no clue.
