Could be:
Headgasket, heater tap, water gallery, heater hoses, etc. Take it to a mechanic and get him to pressure test it on a hoist. That's the only way to know for sure.

If its inside the car, its probably a heater box that has cracked open. Are you noticing if you front windscreen is fogging up a bit?
If its from outside under the car, have a look at the rear welsh plug, nasty! Cheers ViGiLaNtE351
