Thanks Simmy.

I'm 99% sure the car is losing coolant then starts to over heat. Pretty close together and at higher speeds. At 70 - 80mph, within about 2 minutes at those speeds, over heating then low coolant warning.

If an impeller was detached or melted, would that cause a leak? Or would it have to be a faulty/damaged gasket for it to leak?
