Check your oil for anti-freeze , check the anti-freeze for oil . Check the tailpipe to see if anything is coming out . If there is no visable leaks , its possible that the head gasket is blown pushing compression into the cooling system , pushing the coolant out . Check the filler assembly at the radiator , to see if it has gotten hot and warped .

Is the temp. light coming on? Check your coolant level in the overflow reservoir If the level is to low it could cause the fan to run more than normal.

I had a pin hole leak in the tubing between the radiator and the overflow reservoir This was causing it to leak antifreeze and allowing it to suck air into the cooling system. Which was causing my fan to run and my temp light to come on.
