Thermostat housing, and no, it shouldn't have steam coming from it - suspect that you've got a small leak somewhere around there.

Thermostat, there's a bleed screw (allen key) on top, check that's tight, otherwise the gaskets gone between the two halfs.

There's a good chance you will have air in the cooling system now though, so rebleed it after solving the problem.

Also worthwhile checking the end plate that the hose slides onto. They are pretty thin and ive had them rot through and perforate before in the past.
