Don't keep driving it, if it is overheating it will do serious damage, if not already. If you must drive it make sure it has coolant in it and you watch the temperature guage. What engine has the domani got. I know the 1800 has the waterpump under the timing belt cover and you can't see it.

was the leak a hole in your coil and have you lost the coolent from round the coil, when it gets hot it will malfunction till it cools down again.

If its from around the waterpump there is usually a weep hole that starts weeping coolant after the inner seal has gone but before the bearing is totally stuffed.I'd confirm that and if thats it get the cambelt done now.If your waterpump seizes. well cambelt job would look pretty cheap. Not sure about the cutting out.

quite a bit depending on what car it is and where the parts are post your engine number and make model on here for more comprahensive guess. engine number is needed to figure where water pump is. Honda domani 92

From experience on my past cars waterpumps tend to go at about 150- 200,000k
