You can rent a Pressure tester from Autozone, and red adapter neck as well if you have a pressure tank, and not a regular radiator cap. Pump that sucker up to the recommended pressure for your vehicle, and watch for the pp stream. Could be a bad metal pipe, a leaky seal, cut hose, anything really. Take a photo or two if you can, and post it for all to see.
