Looks like its been leaking through the radiator cap for a while,
hows the thermostat ??
Park on a hill nose up and put an inverted coke bottle in the radiator to "lift" the fill point.
Squeeze hoses to push bubbles out.

Yeah the cap was busted so I replaced it yesterday hoping that was the issue. Getting the thermostat during this week and will replace next weekend.

Pull the guts out of the thermostat , it will restrict the flow a little but might solve it
till you get a new one

Are you getting good air flow through the radiator, you can test with a piece of news paper

good chance you have air in the system and has not bled out properly from having a crap radiator cap.... but dont hold me to it?
