[QUOTE="2014RubyRed, post: 1043656, member: 16927"] Check up around the thermostat housing. The engine temp would be burning off a small leak. I had that same thing happen last fall. Kind of ignored it. Thermostat went out WAY back in the woods at Snowball in January. I'm just guessing at what might be your issue...... Don't know if the two issues are related but it's a place to start. If you still have any warranty left, take it in and let the dealer pressure the system up to find a possible leak. Or, you could do it yourself once it gets up to operating temperature. Sounds crazy, but leaks like these are sometimes easier to find at night with a flashlight. You might notice a few bubbles or light steam with a flashlight easier than in the bright sunlight. Good luck, and keep us posted with you findings....... [/QUOTE]
