Overheating problems

Okayyy, i have an issue with an m52 swapped touring at the moment and i think i know whats causing it but would just like some confirmation/ other ideas about what it could be!
Its overheating basically, but its odd in the way that i can bleed the entire system, have hot air in the cabin etc and leave it running for 20 minutes without an issue. But then if i go back the next day and start it, it will heat up much quicker than normal, no hot air in the cabin and start to over heat at which point i switch it off again.
Its like its de-bleeding itself over night (if thats a word) and drawing in air causing an air lock which would explain the lack of hot air through the blowers? Would this point to some sort of coolant leak? The coolant level doesnt seem to be dropping at all, by looking into the rad at least
Hope someone knows what they’re talking about
Cheers
