Make sure you don't have any air pockets in the system. Gotta bleed the hell outta it.

Maybe the water seals were installed wrong. Have you had this issue since you got it back?

Couldn't it just be a soft spring in the rad cap or a bad seal on it?

If you have two radiator caps make sure the hose that goes to the overflow is at the highest point. Or else it will constantly send your coolant to the overflow.
