I noticed I had a little steam coming out from underneath the hood, but my temp gauge was still in norm range. When I took the cap off it didn't spew that much. I replaced the thermostat, top radiator hose, flushed the radiator. I did notice that the water coming out of the drain plug was cooler at first then got warmer. I thought maybe the radiator was clogged, but the water coming out was pretty clean and eventually crystal clear. The coolant still seems to be heating up but now after the flush and new coolant, the temp gauge is even lower than before. Any suggestions as to what it might be?
