Leaky radiator or hose

But your statement didn't state it was just a possibility. You sounded sure.

Could be caused by failed top gasket, failed/wrong radiator cap, engine block strip bolt head, failed thermostat, failed water pump, failing fans etc

If your engine is good and if you are using single radiator, change it to double and thank me later.

True talk due to the heat wave we experience these days. Sometimes I see 100f on my dashboard

Go for pressure test on your cooling system, that is the dedicated test to troubleshoot 90% of overheating issues and the culprit will be revealed in few minutes. Effort to change parts without going for standards test will always end in waste of money and time.

I can even add more to your list to make up to 100 possibilities .Now the big question is how would you test for all these with the least amount of resources, effort and time .This is where test ,troubleshooting and more troubleshooting come in which we don't give attention to.
