First of all if you are in motion when you notice that your engine is running hot you need to turn your heat on high blowing out the top vents. when the engine cools check the lower and upper radiator hoses for a puncture and if you are unable to locate a puncture with in the lower and upper hoses than you might want to take a look at the water pump.

Possible solutions are bars stop leak it is a pellet solution which follows the flow of water until it finds the source of the problem ie: the hole and it fills the hole until sealed.
