I would start with performing a cooling system pressure test, you can rent the tool/gauges at the auto parts store. Then you find the leak, repair, flush the system and add the proper amount of coolant and bleed the system.

    A fried tells me that any air in the cooling system will cause the engine to overheat, find that hard to believe. States that it is a closed system and there should be no air in the system at all.
