Ok so I have A 1997 Nissan Alitma GXE and I have replaced the radiator and it was running great but now all the sudden its starting to over heat again and I go through antifreeze really fast I I also find antifreeze sprayed over the container on the hood. Please help me find out whats wrong.

Don't let it overheat till you find the problem! I suggest cleaning up the whole area (cold engine) carefully and let dry. Pressure the system but not over caps rating with a pressure checker pump and look for where the leak is. Possible that new radiator was dinged or was bad from new but most are said to be checked out first.
In hard to find leaks check for a tiny squirt from a hose or anywhere coolant is while under pressure. Some leaks spray like a fish line to wet an area away from the actual leak but make a mess everywhere.
Plain water should rinse off the mess and let dry. Watch not to get water in the wrong places,
