Okay, here is the update so far. I got my car to the nearest garage and guy told me he found a small leak in the water pump. He said he would replace the pump, thermostat, and do a complete flush to see if it solves the overheating. I am biting my nails at the moment awaiting the phone call because I am afraid I did damage to the head gasket. It should be ready sometime today, but i am anxious for the call!
