Check your coolant level after the engine has cooled off completely.
You may have a split / leaking coolant tank. Lift the carpet and check if its wet in the rear boot (err, trunk in US parlance). If its still dry there, you may have blown some coolant out of the coolant tank overflow - it vents out just in front of the rear wheel on the right hand side (drivers side in Australia).
Use the search function for the reasons why it overflows.....
