First and foremost we need to be sure it can hold pressure so here is a guide to pressure check the system and a basic guide to get us started with what we need to do to cross off the basics.

Once we know the system holds pressure then we can move onto checking the head gasket and make sure that is not an issue either.
This is an easy enough test that it is good to rule this out.

Lastly if all this checks out then we could just have a fan issue if they are not coming on when the engine gets hot.
So when the engine gets to about 200 both fans should come on. If not, then we need to check the relays and make sure they are operating.
Here is a guide that will help with this:
