    I would check the heater core. I have had them plug up on me and the pressure has forced the coolant out the overflow.

    Check to make sure you have enough antifreeze in your radiator & also check your oil & other fluids. It may be a thermastat going bad or water pump.

    Change your coolant. You may also have a vapour lock.

    If you have EVER put stop leak in the radiator, have the system flushed. This is what happened to my 97 Taurus, the heat quit, and I paid several hundred dollars to find this answer.
