When the heat goes out check the coolant level, if it's low, add coolant and test the sysem with a cooling system pressure tester, Autozone loans out the tool, this will show where the leak is. If it's a head gasket white smoke should be visible at the tailpipe(when bad enough) Test the system according to the tool instructions.
