Default Overheating b18

My Del Sol occasionally overheats and blows coolant thru my overflow cap. Don't know too much about this car but is this a happening thing in Honda's and how do I solve this issue?? It's got a b18 motor swap and seems to run great other than the few small leaks I'm trying to stop. Cam seal, oil pan gasket, slave cylinder, now this... Oh and when I start the car with the radiator cap off it shoots coolant out of the radiator? Any advice?

Any coolant leaks?
Or just leaking out of over flow tank?

Just from the overflow tank, I by passed my heater core thinking that maybe it was plugged. Still pushes all my coolant back out my overflow tank. I have a new thermostat for it, I'll put that in quick and see.

Get a new radiator cap.
If it continues to blow coolant out, may be a bad HG.

Yea now would be a good temple for a whole gasket kit. Make new water pump and timing belt.
