Default Radiator Overflow

Interesting problem here (or maybe not). I took the car out in the 90 degree weather last week and when I returned home and shut the car down, about 1/2 cup of fluid came out of the radiator overflow hose. I then took of the radiator cap and the fluid level was below the fins. Now a few weeks ago - this was full. I guess my question is why was it spitting fluid out if it was not at capacity. when I filled the radiator, I did it with the car running and then checked it several times after. My thermostat is 160 degree and in new. I tested it in a pot of water before installing it. Has anyone installed a overflow tank in their classic and is this a needed thing? This may not be a problem...it just seems weird.
