Default 1986 cooling / overheating problem

I have just replaced the water pump and thermostat because the water pump was leaking and was experiencing overheating. after 2 days, i still have a cooling/over heating problem. I have added alot of coolant and it is going somewhere. I have checked the oil and it is o.k. out the exhaust pipes the is alot of steam and condensation. Need some insite. head gasket ? seal ?
