When I go to drive my car it overheats. Every time I stop and turn off the car I always have to add water cause all the water is gone, but there isn't a leak. It does not overheat when I let it idle just when I drive. Also when it is overheating I turn on my heater it blows cold.

The coolant has to be going somewhere. Check to make sure none is mixing with the engine oil and the trans fluid. Let me know what you find. As far as the heater, no coolant = no heat.
