Van is overheating but cooling gauge in car stays between hot and cold as normal, i dont see any leaks, what can be the problem

What is your question?

I dont heat the van up when driving my daughter to school, but when I get back it is smoking from the front of the van, only for a few seconds and the temp gauge never goes to hot

What makes this problem better or worse?

Driving more than 10 minutes

How long has your 2000 Honda Odyssey had this problem?

2 weeks
