If you only need to fill it up when it overheats, it's due to boil-over, not likely a leak. Reasons for it to overheat are: not a proper coolant/water mixture, blockage in the system, maybe in the radiator. To check if there's a blockage in the radiator, with the engine at normal operating temp, with the engine off, and if it has an electric fan, disconnect it. Carefully feel over the radiator surface, and if parts of it are hot, and some parts cold, then there's blockage in there. If its an electric fan, the fan may not be coming on. If it's not electric, it could have a bad clutch. Or it could be a sticking thermostat. That would be a good place to start. =)

It most likely has a blown head gasket if you have to keep adding coolant. this may be the result of a fan not running or your radiator clogged.

Check your fans. It might not be working effectively. Then check your radiator as well, you might have a leak. If everything checks out, try getting a coolant liquid to put into your radiator.

check for leaks underneath the vehicle when you park it. Look for drips. If you see a drip go and investigate where its coming from. If there are no leaks. You might have a blown head gasket.
