Overflowing Resevoir

Alright thanks for the suggestions! Will try them out as soon as possible. Oh I forgot to mention. After the white smoke started becoming very noticeable, I checked around my exhaust manifold for any coolant leaks...and there was one right behind the water pump. I noticed coolant resting on the flat surfaces of the engine as well as wetness leading to or near the water pump. I'll check that again tomorrow because I had initially believed a faulty water pump or wp gasket was the reason for this. At that time my coolant wasn't overflowing out of the resevoir tank. Perhaps my problem has gotten worse since then.

OK overflowing problem solved. New radiator cap from Toyota did the trick.
