Like a waterfall? Low coolant in the coolant system. Top the system back off when the engine is completely cold and completely fill the coolant reservoir.. some coolant will be pushed out of the reservoir while the system warms up and the levels correct themselves.

This could be indicative of a greater problem though. Before you start worrying about a blown head gasket I would test the radiator cap.
