Batteries will bubble, its the reaction (i take it you have an older lead type battery?) between the acid and lead.
As for the over heating problem, could be an airlock but what is the cause?
Have you replaced the radiator or had the coolant changed recently?
Does the temperature go through the roof?
Is your radiator looking a bit old? (plastic bits at the top go hard and crack).
Any gunk in the oil (not always a sign of a HG failure as they can go across water ways and not oil/water ways).
