So the thermostat works both upper and lower radaitor hoses are getting too hot to touch?Also the cooling fan is coming on?You cant see any visual leaks?Have you checked the radaitor cap for not holding enough pressure?

Your going to have to find that leak put some coolant dye in the coolant and get a dye light and use that to trace the leak down. You should have coolant as well as water in the cooling system. Let me know what you find.
