Overpressure and overheat at speed are classic symptoms of a bad head gasket, too.

You must correct all the leaks before you can test this, though-- if the system won't hold pressure, it won't cool properly since the coolant will boil in the head, and vapor won't remove heat properly.

Make sure you are cleaning the hose nipples when you replace hoses, too -- if there is much scale or corrosion present, the hose won't seal.
