Your coolant level might be low. Your water pump my be broken. Your radiator pipes/buckets might be leaking.
It's possible for the radiator itself to be plugged up. It's usually better to replace it with a new one than have the old one re-cored.
Also, while you're doing that you might want to go ahead and change the thermostat.

What can happen if coolant doesn't get changed?
Old coolant begins to break down merely because of the conditions within the engine, being heated and cooling down all of the time. And it can become polluted with dirt and rust particles.
