Car steaming, but not overheating
Getting steam from the drivers side at the front of the car, seems to keep getting water on the engine, my upper radiator hose doesn't look cracked but the end going to the radiator has pink buildup around it, should I just change the hoses or could it be something else?

Pop the clip off and slide the hose off to inspect. At each end.
I wouldn't be surprised if the inlet plastic is cracked at the top of the radiator. very very common on a lot of radiators.
Be very careful you don't break it completely.... and be prepared to order a radiator....
Easy to replace, I just did a brand new Aftermarket one for $108 in my GS300

Also depending how hot your coolant is getting, pay attention to whether your fans automatically turn on still. If it gets hot enough your fan switch (located on the bottom of the radiator) can fry and not kick the fans on, no fans = overheating at idle.
Just some extra information for you.
