my wife forgot to put coolant on the car then when we were traveling the car overheated and i noticed a holes on the radiator..so we rested and bought a coolant and filled the radiator but every couple of miles the temp goes up so we took a break and re-fill the radiator with water until we arrived at my mechanic. he called me today at work and said that my car has a blown head gasket. Thanks

Radiator leaking will cause it to overheat there's not enough or no coolant flowing-get it block and pressure tested to find out for sure if its the headgasket
