Is it running hot? Or just building pressure?
Either way has your electric cooling fan been un-wired at any point in time? If so make sure it's not wired backwards and blowing hot air back on the motor. This happened to me a couple years ago and couldn't figure out why it was running hot. That was it.

Pressure test the system, I bet $5 you have a bad head gasket, cuz I had the same problem, TINY TINY hole, caused pressures to build in cooling system, till it blew the top off. never overheated, no mix of coolant/oil, just excess pressure in cooling system. Easy to check, just take the top off your coolant overflow (when the engine is cold!) and start the engine, if you see bubbles come through the system, you have a blown head gasket.
