Check all of the components of your cooling system. Mine was doing this and I had to replace pretty much all of the system (radiator - had a 2 inch crack, waterneck/thermostat housing - was corroded all the way through around the base, radiator hoses - made a crunching sound when squeezing, heater hoses - made a crunching sound when squeezing). Loads of fun and money.
