When you over-heat your vehicle, more heat is captured inside the engine than what the radiator can cool off. That's why the steam and coolant blows out of the radiator. Unfortunately, when this happens, normally one or many scenarios will result. You will warped the cylinder head, you will crack the head. Both cases are major repairs. If the head is warped, it may be machined (milled) flat again at engine shop. Careful inspection is needed to assure the head is not cracked also. Occasionally, just the head gasket cracked allowing the coolant to flow into the cylinder. Remove the dip-stick and see if there is coolant mixed in with the oil. If there is, expect to remove/replace the head.

This is a major problem and should tackled by a certified mechanic.
Either the head is cracked, blown head gasket, or head is warped. I suspect more than 1 of these options resulted.
Pull the dip-stick and see if the coolant is in the oil. You will see foam or it will smell sweet like antifreeze. This confirms you have major problems.
If you don't see antifreeze, suspect the head is warped. Expect $750-$1500 bill to fix.
