I took the car for a drive 3-5 miles, got on it a time or two, and by the time I get back home it's out of water. There's no water in the oil and no visible leak other than the overflow tank overflowing. My best guess is that all of the water is getting pushed into the overflow tank until there is nothing left in the engine.
Head gasket leak? Cracked head???

It’s either leaking it or burning it..... Make sure you’ve purged all air and simply aren’t getting goofy readings as well...
Pull the plugs.... look for spotlessly clean ones, could indicate a head gasket failure
Missed the overflow reservoir overflowing in your post....combustion(head gasket), failed cap(unlikely),?.... are your temps acting goofy as well?
