I had a leaky waterpump last winter and had these symptoms. You should first establish a few things:
(1) is the coolant level dropping?
(2) how old is the thermostat?
(3) does the engine oil look normal (or is it "milky")?
(4) does the coolant look normal(does it have oil in it)? How old is it?
(5) doe you smell a strange "suryupy" smell from the heater ducts?
In my case the gasket at the waterpump had failed and I was leaking coolant over the back of the engine block. I had steam from under the hood at every stop.
