Check if the cooling fans are comming on... one quick way to do this is turning on the AC and looking at the fans... of you have coolant loss in the bottle and u don’t see a leak that would be a need for concern... also did you mess with the coolant lately... like change it.. if u did it may have air stuck in the system
