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?
