Lots of good advice, and being a car whore, I can add some...
Most likely culprits: Coolant issues (cheapest fix)
Bad hose, loose or leaky hose Water pump dead *Thermostat is stuck* Radiator has a hole or leak
hopefully one of those..and even the thermostat would be a cheap fix. All of the things mentioned except for radiator patching could be done by the least of amateur mechanics with basic tools.
