If you keep filling it and it keeps pumping it out into the overflow bottle... it's either a bad radiator cap or a blown head gasket. Change the cap and if it still does it, get the test kit to check the coolant for exhaust fumes.

Very poosible it could be a rad. If there is a blown headgasket, would there DEFINATELY be waster in the oil, loss of antifreeze and or coming out the exhaust. I remember being told you can have a bad head gasket and not loose any antifreeze at all cause the crack doesnt have to be in a water jacket. Does this sound right ?

this is incorrect, there May be water in the oil but it's not a sure thing it would be in there. the engine would just burn it up if it was blown between a combustion chamber and a coolant passage.
but check the cap first off since that'd be the easiest thing and least expensive. if that checks out get the kit like stated above and check for exhaust fumes in the coolant and hope you dont have a blown head gasket....
