    A visual inspection will determine this, but my guess is the radiator is leaking. You have to remove the shield under the radiator to see the bottom of the radiator, look at the ends of the radiator tank and you'll see coolant if it's leaking.

    I am having the same problem and I was told that it is the head gasket that is the culprit.
