I could hear the coolant boiling in the top line so I figured I maybe had a blockage so fluid could not flow. This morning I checked the coolant lines and topped off the coolant but there did not seem to be any problems there. I drove real slow to work staying off boost today but it did not seem to heat up as much as yesterday. Maybe it was blocked and when I took of the lines to check them it freed it up.
Dude mine does that randomly too. Like when I start my can and leave it sitting for 5 or so mins.

But yester say was by far the worst and I completely understand by the tubes were boiling.
