Does the coolant temp gauge read normally? Coolant would likely boil out of the reservoir only if the engine were overheating.
If you're certain the coolant is coming from the overflow, it could be you simply overfilled and normal heat expansion forced out the excess. I would slowly top-off the radiator when cold, fill the reservoir to the "full cold" line, and keep a close eye on both the level in the overflow and the temp gauge for the next few days. After driving long enough to get the engine good and warm, with the engine idling, take a look to see if the reservoir is overflowing.
I'd also recheck the radiator hose connections to be sure you aren't mistaken about the source of the drip.
