That would be likely if it's leaking water.  If it isn't leaking water, we 
are right back at that radiator.  I bet the radiator isn't doing a 
sufficient job of cooling the water that's going thru it because the 
radiator's fins are clogged with dust.  Get out that hose and drizzle it 
over the radiator so that a stream of cool water is going over the fins 
instead of relying on air blowing over the fins to cool the circulating 
water.  If this doesn't affect the overheating problem at all, then you 
have diagnosed that it isn't the radiator and will have to start looking 
more closely at the block/head.
