Linda:
Does your radiator electric fan turn on  after you drive the car ?
A few minutes after you stop the car, a " thermal soak " occurs in the
engine, and an after run temperature switch  should turn on the radiator
fan and circulate air thru the radiator to cool things down. In turbo
engines, a small water pump is turned on as well to circulate the water
thru the turbo.
Does this help ?
