Does it feel hot, almost the same as the top radiator hose, or is it luke warm or cold?

Hi Simon,

Today I have checked the radiator hoses. The top one was hot (not sure what level of hot it should be, but it feels hot for me). However, the one next to the air cleaner with a bleed screw was not that hot (warm or even less). I also found air inside as when loosening the bleed screw right after turn off the engine, the coolant didn't come out instantly, I can hear air release for few second. Does it mean I got airlock?
