Three other items to check:

Is it REALLY overheating, or is the gauge way off?  Try checking the 
temperature with a calibrated thermometer.

What shape are your radiator hoses in?  Take them off and look through
them to see if there are any bulges on the inside.  Also, the lower
hose may be colapsing under certain conditions.

As for the water loss, have you checked your heater core?  They can
leak and since they are out of sight, get overlooked quite often.
Check the heater hoses while you are at it.

Peace,
Pat
