tf overheating and pushing coolant out the overflow

Get yourself a new radiator cap.
It sounds like the water is escaping as it is trying to build up pressure, and is leaking into the hose.
This should fix your problem, and I suggest you don't drive it far in the meantime.

It's not overheating. The radiator cap has a valve in it, as the engine warms up the valve is closed and coolant pressure builds up to the pressure marked on the cap, above that water is released into the bottle. When the car cools down, the valve opens and reservoir coolant is sucked back in.Originally Posted by qiktf98
This is Basic Mechanics 101.
Replace the cap. The current one is stuffed.
