try replacing the thermostat...if it has zonked out then it probably failed in the closed position. when you do spend the extra few bucks and get a fail-safe thermostat, if it fails it will do so in the open position for antifreeze to still flow. also make sure t he system has all of the air bled out of it.

will this help in keeping water in radiator or is there a leak somewhere in coolant system? how can i check for leaks? was told it could be a blown head gasket please help with this problem.

Does the car steam when it's warmed up? Like there is a pinhole leak and it's coming out and being burned off?

Head gasket check: In the morning before starting your car open the radiator cap and look at the coolant. Does there appear to be a rainbow looking film on the top? Use a flashlight and check, if you see this then there may be some oil in the coolant (head gasket). Also, check the oil dipstick, is the oil white/milky/murky looking? Or is it all dark?
