If there is a head-gasket leak, where is the fluid going?  If into the =20
cylinders, there should be whitish smoke, if into the oil, the oil =20
will be murky/milky brown, and if outside the block, it should be a =20
visible somewhere.  If the fluid level is dropping at such a low rate =20
that it's not even noticeable over some days, then something else is =20
causing the overheating.
