There should be a plastic container with a yellow top on it on the firewall near the battery. This it the cooling system reservoir (check coolant level here).
Caution** DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP IF THE ENGINE IS HOT!

If you need to add coolant this means that you have a leak in the system.
Check the hoses and the water pump for leaks (these are the most likely causes).

If no leaks or if the coolant level is OK and none is needed, check/replace the thermostat.

Let me know what you find as you check these items.
