Default Weird Radiator problem

I've got this problem with my radiator and it's driving me crazy. It seems like the radiator is pumping it's antifreeze into the reserve tank, which leaks out of the lid somehow. The reserve is usually at 'max', but after driving it goes above max (but not overflowing). Not only that, but when I open up the radiator cap, pressure has built up somehow and it sprays radiator fluid out of the sides of the RESERVE container?! The radiator keeps running low because of stuff like this...

Really having trouble. Any thoughts?

Test your thermostat. Any chance that you've overheated the motor recently and blown a HG?
