Help. Coolant problem

What is happening here?

I had an coolant leak probably from the temperature sensor. (13621433077).
I changed the sensor and the hose (17127509963).

Now this happens. It seems like pressure and air build up. First time I tigthen the expansion tank cap. Then the expansion tank broke.
It starts to happen when the engine gets hot

The basics:
1) Did you bleed the system?
2) Is the water pump working?

1) I opened the bleeder screw at the coolant expansion when I was filling the system and a couple of times just after the filling when the engine have been running some time.
2) I suppose. Constant and normal collant temperature when the engine is warm

Sorry, meant the auxiliary water pump.

Did you have the coolant dump while running when the leak happened? It doesn't take long for catastrophic overheat
