Yea thats a possibility too.

If it's overhead it may have blown the headgasket, you won't be able to tell till you fix the problem, get the engine warm and do a compression test.

You can just check the heat across the rad, if it's roughly equal all over it's probably flowing alrite.

If only one part is getting hot it's a good sign it's got a blockage somewhere.

Airlock? Has the coolant been changed recently? Has waterpump been changed according to service schedule?
