Sounds like you have a leak. Usual suspects are the water pump and the coolant tank. Get under the car and see if you have water around the WP pulley. Pull up the carpet in the trunk and if there is coolant on the floor, then its the coolant tank. If you still can't find it then have a pressure test done.

Don't fool around with this. Just a brief overheating on these motors can ruin them.
