My '89 SPG had very similar symptoms. It turned out that the water pump seal was going (or, should I say, "had gone") bad. Before I figured that out, I replaced the cap and tightened that puppy down as hard as I could. that didn't help.
Just in case the situation in your car is like it was in mine, look on the exhaust downpipe for a white stripe of dried-out glycol. That will tell the story.
Another thing you might want to do is let it idle for a while with the hood open. Look for drips. Also, look for drops of water in the oil after it has warmed up fully.
