Did you check the coolant levels? Usually if you have very little to no coolant in your radiator it’ll overheat pretty quickly

Coolant was full. Let more air out of line. Quit over heating. Now when I shut car off antifreeze was coming out overflow. Now I've noticed I might have leak in over flow tank. If there is a hole in over flow will this also cause antifreeze to come out overflow or could it be radiator cap?
