Default '95 Disco...overheating?

My 95 Disco seems to be running fairly well, no overheating as per the guage. However, when I stop and shut her off, you can hear what seems to be boiling fluid. Upon popping the hood and looking further it seems to be coming from the overflow reservoir for the radiator/ cooling system. One of the radiator hoses is easy to pinch when this occurs which makes me think it could be a antifreeze circulation issue. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your courtesies.

Go straight to a radiator shop, don't guess, let them find it for you.

Top hose to the right of the radiator, it is about 2-3 inches in diameter i would guess. even when the vehicle is running it doesn't feel "full,"like their would be fluid circulating. Thank you for your replies.

YOu either have a bad thermostat or a bad water pump. I would start with the thermostat, cheap and easy place to start.
You can get the t-stat at any auto parts store. Stop driving the truck until you get this fixed, if you overheat the enigne you can blow it up.
All aluminum engine dont take kindly to overheating.

Thanks for the help gentlemen, on this post and the others you contribute to. I bled the system like you mentioned in another post and it worked for me. No loss of fluid, no swishing sound, no over heating. Thanks for the advice.
