 Radiator & Coolant bottle queries

I've only just noticed that sometimes, no matter if I drive my RAV hard or soft, the coolant bottle will gush out 'excess' water/coolant once it's turned off.
It started this morning with 3/4 of a bottle in reserve. Upon making an observation tonight, I've noticed that the coolant bottle was as full as it could get while the engine was still running, just after I got home from work. The turbo timer shut the engine off, and I noticed the bottle gush out the excess water again (about 100ml). It continued to bubble in the reserve bottle as I left it to cool down. Four hours later I check the level of the coolant once again, and noticed that the level had dropped to a fraction over the LOW line in the bottle, and the radiator was cool and had water/coolant in it.
I'm running the standard RAV4 radiator and this setup had posed no problems to me for the first 3 weeks that I drove it. This has only happened intermittently over the course of the last 4 days. I spoke to Gary Georgiou (GEE120) earlier tonight and he was a bit baffled by the situation as well. He said all that he could relate to it was something to do with a pressure factor.  The radiator cap is a TRD unit (1.3kg/cm²).
Anyone have any ideas on my situation? And don't go telling me that I need a new radiator... the RAV4 one seems like it has been more than up to the task of handling a 3S-GTE engine's cooling needs for the last 3 weeks. 
Any help here appreciated as usual. 
Cheers.
