Sounds like your thermostat might be stuck closed. I would change it out. Unless you can check that it is functioning correctly. Good Luck.

I agree that the radiator will be cool if thermostat sticks. My point was that he should check it or replace it regardless, as long as he is changing other cooling system components.

Smile Thanks a lot for.

Thanks a lot for for your interest, cool guys, but someting I forgot to say is that I already remove termostat cause where I live is not to cold at any time. I was thinking, is there a chance, the radiator cap is not supporting hot water pressure then it leakes for the tube designed to release that pressure in antifreezze tank.
