Does it come on and stay on when you are having the overheating problem? Also, it could possibly not be spinning as fast as it is supposed to, like worn out or something.
To check for leaks just get the engine warmed up and park the car with the engine running. Do you develop any little coolant puddles? Maybe autoxing you got the system hotter and under greater pressure than usual and sprung a leak somewhere. If coolant is leaking out from under the timing cover, you have a bad water pump.
