Start off by replacing the radiator cap and making sure you have a good mixture of coolant and water.
Too much water and it will boil over too easily.

Next would be the thermostat.

Could be the radiator itself is clogged. The water will not flow thru it (after the thermastat opens)so the water has to come out the cap /overflow.
Is the car overheating?

I would try a radiator flush chemical before I replaced the radiator.
