My car overheats and have to put water almost every day.
First try the radiator cap..if it is bad, it will let the water run directly into the reservoir bottle then out on ground. Also take reservoir bottle out and check it for holes, if it has a hole and good cap it will let overflow drain on ground and not be pulled back into the radiator.
Follow upper radiator hose back to the engine and thermostat will be in the housing the hose is connected to. But follow these other peoples instructions, It's not overheating and loosing water it's loosing water and overheating. Sorry.
It is not likely the thermostat, because the thermostat is showing that it is overheating,so it is working, you must have a coolant leak somewhere. You will have to find coolant leak. Car is overheating because it is low on coolant

If thermostat is bad, you wouldn't go more than a half mile before overheating. Not a bad idea to replace it, but you need to find another cause of your problem...Checked for leaks? are fans coming on?
