This means that you have a coolant leak. You will need to inspect around and under the engine for an external leak. It could be a hose, radiator, heater core, or the engine itself. You may need to have the system pressure tested. If the leak is not an external leak, then there is an internal leak in the engine. Check the exhaust pipe for white smoke. This could be a head gasket or a crack inside. Unfortunately, there is not way to know for sure without taking the engine apart.

The coolant is either leaking externally or going out the exhaust pipe. Perhaps take it to a mechanic and have the cooling system pressure tested to see if the leak can be found.
