I had a comman problem with my punto, where the water just kept leaking out and disappearing, but it was easily fixed.

Where the water pipe goes from engine into the front of the car was worn, so put a new seal on, and this tightened the pipe again and fixed the problem

This happened to me. Went to safari park and on the way round my car overheated. Later found out that 1) the thermostat was missing( had been taken out by previous owner, god knows why)? 2) My fan at front of car was not plugged in. Although I laugh about it now and you might too, I think these are worth checking.

Sounds as if the radiator needs replacing, and also, by driving when low on coolant, you've probably blown the head gasket too.
