I have a question regarding the radiator hoses, after running the car for a while the hose going into the top of radiator (hose on the left of the picture) gets really hot while the hose going into the bottom of the radiator (right of the picture) stays cool/warm is that normal ? , can that show some sort of blokcage of fluids explaining why fumes come out of the radiator.
Big Thanx for your help!!

Hi there,

there will be a difference in the temps of the hoses, but it dose sound like you may have a flow problem, replace the thermostat and have the radiator cleaned and flow tested, replace any suspect hoses at the same time.
