1996 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic? Miles

My car will heat up to the H after about 3or4 miles of driving. If I leave it running in the drive it seems to take alot longer to overheat. I have recently put a radiator on it because the other one had a hole in it. The water pump was replaced about 6mts. Ago. There is nothing leaking out anywhere that I can see. When it runs hot and you shut it off after about 10 minutes you can hear it making a gurgling noise and the coolant starts pouring out of the overflow cap. Do you have any suggestions?

Change your radiator cap and thermostat. That should solve your problem.
