Default cluster showing over heating

Ok heres the deal, I have a 89 crx with a 91 si motor. The temp gauge is reading hot. I had a blown head gasket, I changed it.I changed the water pump to, and it's still reading hot, I moved the car before it got too hot and it makes no power and it leaks anti-freeze(just alittle bit). So can someone help me out wit this problem?
