Mechanic suspects that Dex-Cool corroded head gasket and caused it to blow. Coolant was burning off and getting low, requiring it to be refilled weekly. This leak also introduced air into cooling system, causing heat to stop blowing hot and cooling to boil since the system was no longer pressurized correctly. When coolant boiled, it dumped out of the overflow tube and got even lower. Eventually it caused the engine to overheat due to low coolant and air in the system. Air can be bled out but the leaking head gasket would reintroduce it quickly.
