Does your coolant tank show a good level?
Does it get too hot under normal operating conditions?
Does the engine otherwise run good?
Does the engine fan roar and pull hot air through the radiator?
Is the Check Engine light come on?

your water pump might be going bad? are your fans kicking on? hopfulley it's not a head casket leaking? did you pull dipstick to see if it has water in it? you can tell by looking or when you pull it out take a lighter to the dip stick and where oil shows heat that up and if it starts popping you have water in your oil or antifrezze but i hope not.

Did you find the leak? Where was it?
Check the coolant level in the radiator with the motor COLD.

Mine heated up with an intake manifold leak...it would only leak when you shut it off hot and would leak was at the rear of the motor.

Another time it leaked at the front of the motor and dripped off the lower belt pulley....bad water pump.
