It could be air in the system or your radiator is collapsing, though you will see higher temps if it is, feel the rad from the bottom, it is suppose to be hot from the bottom to the top, also if the water is being forced out id get it checked out by a garage, it doesnt take much to warp heads on an alloy engine and make life more expensive

check the front of the end cap on the left had side of the radiator, they are prone to hair line cracks that open up when the engine is hot.

must have seen this hundreds of times to be honest.

very common fault.
