1994 cougar V6 is overheating what could be causing it no leaks in radiator and has automatic fan?

Hopefully, it's the thermostat... but, if the engine has seriously overheated it could be a damaged head gasket caused by a warped head. Engine heads will warp slightly when the engine overheats, then there is insufficient pressure on the head gasket and the gasket will leak.

Were could engine coolant be leaking from a 1997 Cavalier Z24 2.4l when it sits over night on the street?

It could be coming from the water pump, or from the bottom radiator hose. If it is the water pump, change it before the engine overheats. If the engine in any GM product overheats, you will likely be installing a new one or rebuilding the old.

Could be low coolant, but most diesel motors are set to shut down if that occurs. You could have broken a fan belt, you could have a bad thermostat, or a bad water pump. The engine fault codes might be able to pinpoint it for you, as well.
