Radiator Problems

My car was overheating about a month ago, so I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed some internal leaks and ended up replacing the radiator and the water pump.

Now, however, I've noticed that the car is overheating again, but only when idling. I presume this is either a problem with the fan or the fan sensor. But I've also noticed something else - when the engine's cold and I remove the radiator cap and start the car, water is gushing out of the radiator. I can't imagine this is a good thing. Shouldn't the radiator be sucking the water in rather than pushing it out?

Does anyone know what this could mean?

I've got a 1997 Camaro, if that helps.
