is the rad cap the correct one for the rad?
I'd check the thermostat and rad cap first.
if that's okay, then a test to see if the headgasket is FUBAR.

not sure about the steam problem but the radiator cap sounds like its the incorrect model... I had the overflow going all the time when I bought my car because of the previous owner not having the correct cap on (so when pressure was supposed to build up under heat, it would leak). If you have CPC products where you are, try part code 560-90... your cap should look something like this.
