Sounds like the radiator might be clogged up with something, maybe try flushing it and see what you get out. Sometimes people put in the stop leak and that stuff clog's radiators up fast. especially if they keep putting it in to stop a leak. Also make sure your fans are coming on. Turn the AC on and they should come on with it.
