REPLACE RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP AND CHECK THE COOLING FAN CLUTCH.WHEN YOUR ENGINE HOT WHEN YOU TRY TURNING CLUTCH FAN WITH YOUR HAND WHEN ENGINE IS HOT.THERE SHOULD BE RESISTANCE IN THE FAN.IF CLUTCH FAN SPINS FREELY WHILE ENGINE HOT.YOU NEED TO REMOVE COOLING FAN TO REPLACE CLUTCH.
If you don't have a visible leak, check your oil to see if there's blobs of milky color in the oil. If there's none check your radiator fluid level. When you fill a new radiator you need to make sure all the air is out of the system or it will overheat. I usually fill the radiator and run the engine until the thermostat opens then make sure the radiator tank is at the "Full Hot" level. Sometimes I have to burp the car by bouncing it up and down to get the air out of the higher parts of the cooling system.

Check your oil. Is it milky looking? If it is you have a blown head gasket or a cracked block.
