Mini Cooper 2010: What is causing it to overheat?

My 2010 Mini Cooper keeps overheating. The coolant is not leaking but I fill it up and it just disappears within seconds. This has only started in last six months. What could be causing this?

You might not be able to see it, but there is a leak and you need to take it to a mechanic or a dealer to have it located and repaired. It could be the radiator tank, a fitting on the engine, or the worst case is that it could be a head gasket.
