Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
If coolant is coming out there, either the system is over full, the engine is overheating, or a blown head gasket can sometimes fill the system with pressure causing this.
If there is a leak, the coolant could get low and cause the engine to over heat. Here is a link describing how to check for a leak:

Another cause of overheating is a bad thermostat. Take a look at these links:

Next, if radiator cooling fans are not operating, this too can allow the vehicle to overheat, especially in stop and go traffic:

Check these things first and let me know what you find. At that point, I will be better able to help.
Take care,
Joe
