Hi,

Can you tell me where you see the fluid loss coming from? Also, is there any white smoke from the exhaust when the engine is running?

Do me a favor. Take a look through this link. It describes how to check for a head gasket issue, which can cause overheating. I need you to check for the symptoms mentioned.

Also, here is a link that explains how to repair a coolant leak. It explains how to locate one.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
