It is possible that the gasket could leak between cylinders. The overheating and coolant loss would happen if the gasket was failing around the coolant passages.
Overheating can be a number of things. Bad water pump, coolant low, fan inop, bad thermostat, leaking coolant, cooling system clogged, or a blown heads gasket. Check for coolant around the water pump signaling a bad water pump. if the temperature rises and no fan comes on, that's your problem. blown head gasket- look for coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant. it will look like a milkshake. uncap the radiator while its COLD. start the car, look to see if it bubbles. all suggest a blown head gasket.

It could be multiple problems. check your coolant level, it could also be your Lower intake gasket or even a head gasket.
Can be leaking intake manifold gaskets, which can sometimes be fixed by using Dexcool coolant. Can also be a head gasket.
