You have a few options, you could take it to a mechanic for diagnostics and repair, you could (when the engine is **COLD** ) make sure the radiator and overflow are full, then rent a cooling system pressure test kit to see if it holds pressure (and if not where it is leaking from), you could also (again after making sure the system is full while the engine is **COLD** ) add UV dye, drive it around, then use a black light to see where the leaking is coming from
