Could be head gasket .If losing water ,a pressure test on cooling system should show any external leaks and a sniff test (block test ) will check head / gasket .Once cause of leak has been found and repaired , thermostat needs checking and correct amount of antifreeze added .

I also have a problem with my car over heating the faster i go in my car the quicker the fan kicks in and the temp light comes on the dash board, i check the water tank and its bubbling and the water pipes making a sucking noise, i never had this problem until i had a water pipe replaced, and my garage tell me they cant remove the air blockage or worse case the head gasket may be leaking.How can i get someone to check this please help.
