first off have you noticed any white smoke coming from exaust. if not it sounds like you could possibly have blown head gasket. You can try filling a 20oz coke bottle have full of water and stick your overflow hose in it. start car and if the water bubble then very possibly blown head gasket. let me know if this helps
