Is it overheating according to your temp gauge?
If not, are the clamps tight on the overflow hose?
Just as a sanity check, is the cap on tight?
If it is overheating, is your fan clutch working? Do you hear a
roar from the fan when the it gets over temp? Any leaks from the
water pump?
What percentage is your coolant/water mix?

Re: Radiator boiling over?
Your cap must be bad. The cap has two seals. One two way at the base
that lets the coolant out when you heat up the engine and one at the top
that forces the coolant to go to the overflow bottle. The one at top
then seals to allow the bottom two way valve to suck coolant back into
the rad.
It is normal for coolant to come out of the rad when the engine heats
up. Just not out on the ground....
