Hello I have a 2001 dodge durango and I've been having this problem with my cooling system causing my coolant to come out from around my rad cap I never overheated when it would do that till today the gauage would read higher then normally and steam would come out from around the cap my top radiotr hose is hot to the touch but my bottom radiator hose is not hot to touch the temp gauage stays at the half way mark

I would check Thermostat, Water pump leaking?
When cooled, with cap off get up to temperature and look inside and see if it is circulating.
Does your vehicle have a hose from by Radiator Cap that overflows into a Resovoir?

I've replace Thermostat water pump not leaking when I got done replacing the thermostat today the temp gauage would rach the 3/4 mark and stay there at idel it doesn't look like the water is circulating. But my bottom hose is full of water I can't squeez it with my hands when it's running but when I drive it with the Radiator Cap on the temp gauage read to the half way mark and then starts to steam yes I have a hose that runs from my Radiator Cap to my resovoir it's got antfreez in it

It may be the Radiator Cap.

New radiator cap I also notice something else at idel when I bring it up to 2000 rpms I notice the water coming out from around the cap when I drove it to work the gauage was at the 1/2 mark and it steam and push the water out from around the cap then only thing I've hadn't done was flush the radiator with the hoses off the motor

I wonder if you have a blockage and not circulating, and being forced out weakest point.
TXgreasemonkey may have an idea.
Does water ever go from radiator to resovoir and back?

Thanks for the help I place my durango in the shop today and found out my Radiator Cap had a spot on it that was not letting it close all the way and they fix it
