A leaking hose is the most obvious cause, and this includes the heater hoses, but also check the radiator and water pump. Look for leaks under the car when it's up to operating temperature and the engine is running. Also look for white smoke coming out of the tailpipe, as this can indicate a leaky head gasket.
