You will have to check for external water leaks first .If nothing apparent a pressure test on cooling system will show up any faults .You could also test the thermostat is not sticking in the closed position .If no faults showing it may be head gasket .Usual signs are pressurising of coolant system , water in engine oil or blowing steam out the rear . A block test will confirm or not .
