With the car running you can feel the hoses coming off the radiator the one on top gets hot pretty quick but the one on bottom does not get hot at all. It has got a new radiator and the temperature gauge never says it is over normal. The overflow tank cap never has any pressure on it but it will be supper hot. Is it the thermostat or collapse line?
