If all your coolant is leaking out, I think you've found out the reason your car is overheating. Can you see where it is leaking with the engine running? You may be able to check it out, and fix it...but by the sounds of it...a mechanic would be a better choice.

Could simply be the thermostat inside the radiator hose on the top part of the manifold. They are very cheap it would cost mor ein antifreeze then it would to buy a new thermostat.

Probably your water pump needs to be replaced. That's where your coolant is leaking out. It should be obvious if it's a leaking hose.

If it is overheating, check to see if your overflow tank is bubbling when the engine is hot. If it is, it is the thermostat. They are very easy to replace.

Time to trade it in on a "PUSH,PULL, OR TOW" dealership. No sense in spending good money after bad...

The problem my friend is that like myself, you don't have enough money to buy a better car. :(
