99 Cavalier 96,000 miles Leaks Antifreeze

My car is overheating and leaking antifreeze. No one can find where the leak is. You can put the antifreeze in, walk out the next morning and its all gone, and the temp. gage is as hot as it will go. Any ideas as to what could be wrong??

That engine is very prone to have bad head gaskets and cracked heads. I suspect that is the problem. If it overheats once it will crack a head. Does the water blow out of the radiator when you rev the engine with the radiator cap off?? let me know.
