Cooling Problems

i am having overheating problems once again, it was 50 out the other i goto pull my car over, i could tell my fan was running and stop the car, and i get out i hear something from under the hood, the antifreeze was boiling and steam coming from it when i opened the hood? what is wrong here? the car use to do this previously but i guess a new radiator and thermostat did not fix the problem. My intake also leaks which i dont know if that has anything to do with it help me! My coolant is also a dark green and i just got a new radiator a few months ago. I would say the sadest looking part would be my water pump. what could the problem be, i also do not have an air dam.

if you were doing more than 35 mph or so then you answered your own question "I don't have an air dam", I don't think people realize how important those things are at speeds over 35 mph, I can run my car on the interstate at 65 mph in 90* temps and the fan never comes on (I have an indicator that tells me when the fan is on), this all with a stock water pump and a radiator that has over 170,000 miles on it.
