940 overheating delima 900 1994

My wifes 940 turbo w/250k smells very hot most of the time, but the gauge is right in the center.

What I have done and checked.
T-stat & coolant replaced
Breather box open (thought it might be excessive crankcase pressure)

What it does.
Smells REALLY hot, w/ oil smell.
Loses coolant erratically. Sometimes it will go for a day or two before needing any.
Boils over at times, coolant rising to the top of the reservoir.

Hope someone can help. Gotta get this fixed for the better half.
Thanks.
