well if something is leaking and your engine is overheating i assume coolant is leaking from your car. that in a matter of speaking is a good thing since you know what the problem is, now you have to find the leak, you could visually look and see were the leak is, however the best way would be to pressure test the cooling system and find the leak that way, luckily you have a very simply engine and repairs are done very easily, once you find the leak, like a hose or radiator, or what ever it is, then the engine is set up simply enough that any mechanically inclined person should be able to figure out how to remove and replace defective part. fill up cooling system and bleed system. pressure check again to verify no leaks are present. test drive and verify proper driving operation. good luck..
