Default smoke coming from under the hood

i just pulled in my driveway with steam or smoke coming from the hood, opened it up and it was like a light mist coming from the radiater, it eventually stopped, my temperature gauge was above H, anyone know what this could be?

if your radiators never been changed, then its about time for that bc they always crack/separate at the seam, mine did it at like 70k. did you see coolant seeping out of the top of radiator?

skip on the radiator right now, my car did this and all it was was the bleeder screw worked loose and was bleeding out steam, make sure it's tight... REAL tight, i ended up loosing mine completely cause it worked all the way back out

Definately take the above advice and look at the minor things before you go changing the entire radiator it could be something very simple.
