sounds like a blowed head gasket. if the head gasket blows then you will have compression blow by into the water port on the head and build up pressure in the radiator. to check for it you can fill with water and check for moister coming from the tail pipe or take it to someone who has a radiator pressure tester. pressure souldnt exceed the pressure that is stamped on the radiator cap
