Temperature rising


Last 2 days ago, as I was driving to work, I noticed my temp was in the middle range. After driving for about 15mins the temp. is moving upwards to the red zone. Luckily I manage to reach my office on time(it didnt reach the red zone). About 2-2.5 hours later I check the radiator tank to see how much coolant was left inside. It was about a quarter tank dried up.So I took a water hose and water the fan and also fill the radiator plus the spare tank. As I driving my way to the workshop the temp. was ok at the 1st few minutes then it started to raise again. So I keep going on til I reach the workshop but this time it was very hot.
After letting the mechanic check , he found out that the water pump is leaking therefore the engine over heated. Well, this is the 3rd time the engine overheated and Iwould say it's kinda strong. huh?
