I had that once to...What was causing it for me was coursion around the casting were you fill the radiator...the water temp sensor in that casting too. I took the radiator hose off and wire brushed it clean and it help for quite awhile..I think I have to do it again though. You might want to check that out...I could tell by crusty ol radiator fluid around the hose. Hope that help ya.

Also check the coolant hoses in the back of the engine...

You could also pop the hood... turn on the car... and just look for smoke or drippin coolant
