Wherever it is stored is obviously filling up too much, and therefore overflowing.
What have you looked at, if anything?
Where is your hot water stored?
Is there a ball valve regulating the flow of water?

could be a number of things such as split cylinder coil, faulty ball valve in header tank, system overventing.
more info needed.

is the water coming from the overflow actually hot?
