I recently had my oil change and the didn't mention anything to me about there being water in my oil so I'm assuming it isn't my water pump.
You would only have water in the oil if there was a a leak in the head gasket or water jacket ports in the engine. if you are losing water,that quickly,then it's either a hose,radiator, or water pump. put a piece of cardboard under veh after youve filled the radiator and veh is cool, that way you can determine the location of leak. if you don't see the location of leak the next day, then odds are it is the water pump and only loses water after engine warms up an pressure forces it out the weep hole in the pump while driving. (note: if you have white smoke coming out of tailpipe then you probably have a blowed head gasket,)

HI. These findings suggest that there has been some major trauma that has affected or compromised the integrity of the actual block. Of course this is the worst case scenario(block damage, ie warped head or cracked block). This repair will likely exceed the 1500 dollar mark.
Here are some lessor issues that will induce leak points through out these sections of your vehicle:
1. Ruptured head gaskets
2. Ruptured oil pan gasket
3. Ruptured oil pressure switch seal(sender)
in conclusion; The above three areas can be repaired. With that said, if there is an apparent crack in the block, or the actual head has been compromised, this will induce a heavy labor charge for the replacement of the head, gasket(s) and other supporting parts that will need to be replaced to correct the leakage. Due to the evaluation report, I would not recommend to purchase this vehicle. it has been abused, mechanically. This is highly unusual at 50K. It is due to neglect.

Did you bleed the air out of the system after replacing the thermostat?

The other cause for over heating can be head gaskets. I agree that you mentioned head gasket checked ok, but still get it rechecked.You might still consider having a mechanic perform a leak test at the radiator cap with a special tool.
Next wuld be to check if the radiator fan is turning on. A fast way to do that is by unplugging the two-wire coolant temperature sensor while the ignition switch is on. That should cause the fan to run. If it does not, there might be a blown fuse for the fan. The best way to diagnose it is by using the DRB3 scanner to command the fan to run. ---------
If this checked out ok and still there is overheating problem.Then check if thermostat is opening.--------
If its not opening then yes car will overheat, even you replaced the thermostat, click this link below to troubleshoot thermostat problem even after its replaced:---
