Let's hope it's the radiator itself and not a leak in the engine. When the water passages in the radiator are blocked or the air fins are corroded, there just isn't the capacity to stay cool at highway speed.

There is a test for the engine or head gasket leak.

Once it overheats for any reason, it will tend to overflow. If there is coolant blowing out before it overheats, that would point to a leaky engine.

flush the radiator coolant out, and check your radiator to see if its sending coolant to the engine.
