Look to see if your coolant bottle is over-filled. If it's not then with the car cold, fire up the engine, take the radiator cap off and check to see if you have bubbles coming to the surface of the coolant. The other thing to do is goose the throttle at the throttle body and observe if the coolant is pushed out the radiator while the car is still running cold. If it does push the water out more than likely you have an exhaust leak in the cooling system. Same goes for the bubbles if you see em. I've seen em the size of pin heads rising to the surface and bigger. Don't forget to bleed your system after you put your radiator cap back on.
