You should have a coolant system pressure test done. There must be a leak in the system. See if the exhaust smells like anti-freeze as that may mean you need a new head gaket. If you live in a colder climate where it gets belwo frezzing and have not changed your anti-freexe every 2 years or 24,000 miles this is probably the issue.

Also check the oil for coolant in it.
