Radiator supposidly was leaking into engine...I put 'no-leak' stuff into the radiator to stop the leak...never did see much fluid on the ground...now the engine is showing 'overheating' but still has plenty fluid in the radiator...and still only a few drops on the ground.

That's not surprising. You just plugged up most of your cooling system with that junk. You will probably need to replace the radiator and maybe the heater core now to get back to where you were before adding that stuff.
