Water compression VS air compression

I put the motor back together and the thing started to run hot. It would also blow coolant out for the over flow at idle. I figured that it was just a head gasket so I put 2 new ones in. After replacing these gaskets the problem is not a bad. Only seems to put water in the resi when I shut it down, then little drips. Anyway what im getting at is I found a small pin hole leak in the radiator that started pissing coolant out when the system presurizes. So when the car is mild 180ish am I sucking air into the cooling system then allowing the system to presurize quickly from the small hole in the rad causing the coolant to go into the over flow?

You will either have to repair the hole or better replace the radiator... Soon
