    It's either leaking or being burnt in the cylinders. Neither are good situations, could be as simple as a loose jubilee clip/cracked hose or the HG. Keep it topped up until you get it diagnosed.

    Pressurise the system and look for a leak.

    A leak may be so small that it is venting as steam which will be hard to locate.

    Unless you're an avid DIYer, professional intervention might be the best option.

    Assuming there is no obvious leak then you need a cooling system pressure test and a sniff test. between the 2 of those you'll know what up.

    If you can't see any cracks in hoses or coolant reservoir I'd take it to a mechanic. Check locally, most mechanics will be able to help with this kind of issue.
