If you have already had a severe overheating in the past, you could now have serious internal damage.

You should have a shop run some tests for a blown head gasket.

But I have no leakage in the oil or coolant no exhaust leaks. I was thinking it. Was the water pump I'm just not seeing any symptoms of a blown head gasket

It's not necessary to have those symptoms. In fact a blown head gasket rarely shows symptoms like that.

If you have a break between a cylinder and a coolant port it will pump hot combustion gases into the cooling system. There are chemical tests that can be run although they are not always conclusive.
