My camry has a new problem ><

After fixed the pressure of my radiator cap of my camry, I drove about 300 miles to Houston yesterday. A nightmare happened.... My engine started running hot, and I found my coolant kept dripping out of my air releasing hose from my reservier tank. I had to turn on my heater to keep the temperture down. Anyone has idea about my car's problem ? or any suggestions I could look into ?
I top the coolant before my trip, and we installed our radiator about 6 months ago.
thanks in advance.

If the coolant is overflowing out of the reservoir tank, it can either be a lot of air in the coolant system, or a developing bad headgasket

you mean you didn't bleed the system already?
that is a really bad thing to do
leave the rad cap off
run the car and it will warm up the rad fan will keep turning in and the opening willl belch air and fluid just keep fill as fluid drains for about 30 minutes
