Unhappy Random Overheat and leak issue

Hey guys, my 2009 Gen5 has the problem that it starts overheating randomly i thought it ran out of water, so i refilled it with water from a gas station, to get back to a workshop. but after a few kilometers it said its hot again, so i pulled over and looked there was water running out of my car, but i couldn't say where, so i called a tow truck and he pulled me back home. While waiting i had a big puddle under my car. This all happened Saturday. On monday afternoon i looked how much is in the water tank and it seems there was eough water in it so i drove to a workshop that had time to look, i arrived after 5min and my engine was normal warm and he couldn't find any leaks, so i drove back home 5min, i looked under my car and there was water dripping, so i drove back. On the way the check engine light went on because of that overheating. On Saturday he called me and said the pipes going from the engine to the heater was leaking a bit but i wouldn't be able to repair it, so i asked an other workshop. He preasurised the cooling system, drove around for an hour but couldn't find leaks and the flor in his workshop stayed dry.


How is that possible, that one day everything is overheating and water is dripping anywhere and an other day nothing happens?

Weather outside was 22°C on Saturday, 18°C on monday and 30°C today. Car had run about 101950km


PS: sorry for my bad english im from germany so everthing is metic in my report
