Squirting Over Flow

ok...i have no interior, so i can hear that sucker squirting away when im not driving. if i open the hood..its like a geyser. i'm pretty sure my car has a coolant leak, but would that cause this??? just today i flushed my coolant..and it still does it. could it be the thermostat? or a bad radiator cap? my cap isn't stock, but it's a 13lb...the temperatures never look bad on my temp guage, and the water that it's shooting out is only slightly warm.

any ideas?

i could be wrong but i think i remember reading that water squirting out of the overflow is a sign of a bad seal in the motor, but i could be wrong
anyone else?

Then don't drive it so much. I've seen a radiator squirt a bunch of water and seen exhaust smoke inside after removing the cap. Real bad water seal leak.
