Is the coolant actually bubbling? Or just steaming? Steaming is normal, bubbling can indicate a problems. Does the car noticeably increase in temp as you accelerate? Cool off when coasting? If it does these things you may have an exhaust leak into your water jacket, a very bad thing. Exhaust gases will react with your water/coolant mix and make and acid, I forget which, but a very bad thing for aluminum.
