You could have a intake gasket leaking. You need to take it to your local mechanic, one that you can trust, have them pressure test you cooling system. Could also possibly be a head or head gasket leaking to the inside. You need to have it check asap.

What causes a 96 Chevy lumina to run hot the radiator is full but the water just boils?
There could be several reasons, including the radiator being plugged up, the thermostat being stuck, and the water pump not working. Drain the coolant, and check for signs of rust or corrosion in the coolant. Remove the thermostat, replace the coolant, and run the engine. If the problem persists, take it to garage. Troubleshooting by changing out parts will be too expensive. check and change thermostat if done this problem is either head gasket or cracked head

Check that there is enough engine coolant. Check to insure that the thermostat is not stuck, and that the water pump is circulating. Turn on the heater on high and high fan.
