/var is taken up by things that change frequently. Do this...

cd /var
du -h --max-depth 1

This should show you which part of var is using the most space. If I'm
wrong on something, "man du" will get you help.

Two likely culprits are the logs (/var/log) and the mail spool files of
mail waiting to be collected by your users (/var/spool/mail). Check
those first, and if those aren't the problem du will help you hunt them
down.
