Default Over heating

just after xmas my car was over heating and i was getting no warm air through the fans, so i took it the car to the local scooby garage and the water pump was f*cked, so it was replaced. Now the other day i noticed the temp gague creeping up so i checked the coolant and it was very low, i topped it up and seemed ok for a day, then today the coolant was bit low so i put a bit more in and temp gague went right to the top and no heat through the fans still, does this sound like leak or does anyone have any ideas? thanks

sound like a leak somewhere followed up by an airlock when you have topped up the water

yes, its not advised to use the car like that as if it overheats you may blow the headgaskets. That is if they havent gone already.
