Silly question, did you replace the radiator cap?
Could it be air bound?
The problem arose only after the coolant was drained and replaced.
Some cars get an air bubble trapped in the cooling system that needs to be bled out. This car may be one of those.
Water pump gummed up from flush?

I had a similar problem, but mine was due to the head gasket blown, this then blew hot gases in the water coolant system, which inturn blew the coolant out of the expansion tank.
Might help
Regards
