Is it actually getting hot and boiling it out (is is steam coming out of the overflow or liquid). If liquid is coming out of the overflow then it might be a bad head gasket causing the water system to be pressurized. If it is actually boiling it out then maybe your radiators are plugged or your jetting is too lean. Four strokes will get hot when you are putting, but it is odd that it would all of the sudden give you problems when it never did before.
