Checked your thermostat ? A pressure test should show any external leaks on cooling system and a sniff test ( block test ) will check head gasket which could be your fault , very common .

sounds like the themostat, be very careful if this problem isn't sorted out it can very easily blow your head gasket or worse sieze your engine.
