Overheating Boxster

Hi all

I wonder if someone can help me, i have just replaced a radiator to a 986 on Friday, no problems there. I took the car up to Leeds on Saturday also no problem. I checked the coolant level up there an toped it up but this is where the problem lies i forgot to screw the coolant cap down. She run fine until we hit an accident queue where she overheated, went up to about 96deg, we pulled into services topped the water up and carried on (with the cap screwed down this time) we started to overheat again and again we stopped when the temp went to about 90 deg. I did notice that the heaters started to go hot and cold,. We called the AA and got taken back on a pick up. I started the car the next day there is no there does not seem to be any oil in the header or water on the dip stick but the level of the water kept going up and down, question is this a thermostat problem, water pump problem or gasket problem.Thanks
