this ain't normal. sounds like you could have a crack in the EGR spacer plate which has the two small coolant lines running to/from it. if you can get your hands on a radiator pressure tester, pump up the pressure to about 15 psi and then open the throttle body blade all the way and look inside with a flashlight to see if you can see where the leak is. you might be able to borrow a tester from Auto Zone, not sure. it screws on to the radiator just like a cap and has a pump that you use to put pressure on the system to check for leaks. if you can't do this, then run the engine until it comes up to normal temperature and pressure, top radiator hose should be hard. then shut it off and look for the leak.
