Well this is perfect timing. I have just had a similar problem 
with my car. I had taken it to my old high school for an alumni event 
and it overheated in the parking lot. I bled the system, and now its 
been blowing antifreeze out of the overflow tube at temp. My 
assumption is that the person who I bought the car from had an 
incorrect mixuture of water/antifreeze in the car, mostly water I 
assume. I poures in straight antifreeze and seemed to help. MAKE SURE 
YOU GET THE AIR OUT.
