Steam coming from radiator

[Ash1711]

Hi, there is steam coming from under the bonnet on my car and upon closer inspection it looks like its coming from the radiator. :n:

any way i can make sure it is the radiator before going out to buy a new one?

Thanks.

check the top pipe were the thermostat is ... it might be dripping out off there onto radiator and therefor makeing steam.

i get this never used to do it till i meshed my grill, and only happens in damp conditions looked and cant see it leaking so would guess as said above could be just condensation... :y:

Thanks for the replies so far.

If it was just condensation it should stop after a while shouldnt it?
