Can you see the leak? or from where is coming from, what part of the engine? front, back, middle, left front, etc.?

Or you are assuming there is a leak because the engine is overheating?

I am assuming its a slow leak because I smell burning antifreeze and I have to add antifreeze every 2-3 months, when the car overheats its usually a sign the anti freeze it pretty empty. as far as where its comming from were not sure because it seems to burn off before it hits the driveway.

could be your thermastat, turn the car on and inspect all around the radiator and your coolant tank. the tank itself might have a leak.

From what you have told us you have a bad air pocket traped within the coolant system. Thats the reasion for the no heat and the engine trying to overheat. Take your vehicle to a good tech with some nissan background an he will know how to get the air out.
