To OP:
You can google/youtube the radiator, follow the hoses or lines and check all the seals, also depending on the model year check the water pump (google/youtube) to be sure there's no leak there. I had a problem of overheating on my 04 Monte Carlo and I had a leak at the water pump, the thermostat needed to be replaced, believe it was stuck closed. All told I repaired the car myself by buying a used water pump from a salvage shop for 30 bucks that was warrantied by the shop, thermostat was 7 or 8 bucks from advanced autoparts, the haynes manual showing me how to get 'er done was 15. Anything I wasn't clear on I looked up on youtube since the impala and a potiac had the same motor.
Good luck
