Any auto mechanics-heating question

I had a similiar issue with my first car and my problem was the thermostat wasn't closing. I think I paid $15 to get a new one at Autozone. Hopefully this is the case with you.

Low coolant level again or bad head gasket/cracked cylinder head.
Which could be why you lost coolant in the first place.

I always vote cheapest solution first. I use a 180 degree thermostat in pretty much everything
