It'll do that when the radiator is hot. It takes a while for it to cool off.

There is a leak somewhere, even if it is a pinhole size leak. You may have to pressurize the radiator when it is cool so you dun't get burned.

If I were you, I'd clean off all the coolant from your engine bay ASAP as the coolant will damage the paint and corrode the engine bay.
