if a car over heats enough it will pop out a freeze plug. or could be a blown head gasket.

what ever you do dont put the stop leak stuff in the radiator. looks like pepper. its really bad for the head ports. glogs them up and wont allow coolant flow.

Could be the burp/bleeder valve is open or missing. If it is the machined hole, you may not have replaced the air purge for the cooling system.
