Lately, my TBS seems to be running a bit hotter than usual.

As there is no temp guage , I am only guessing, but I have noticed an ocassional wiff of coolant and even some steam when I pull up at lights.

I have checked the coolant tank and it did not appear to be low and I cannot see any leaks for anywhere obvious.

Any suggestions as to how to 'easily' check the engine temp?

The scheduled Maint chart suggests changing the coolant every 2 years.

Since I now have just over 12k miles, should I be considering changing it?
