If you don't have a leak, then your system has air in it. You need to get it out. Disconnect the coolant line behind the throttle body. Remove the AST cap. Remove the filler neck cap. Fill the system until you get coolant coming out from the throttle body hose. Close everything up and run the car until warm. Let it cool and check the levels again. You should not have to add much fluid after doing this.

Also check to make sure whenever you put in the radiator you didn't swap the AST cap with the filler cap. That caused mine to have the same symptoms as you.
