radiator cap

today I noticed the engine smelling kind of hot when I got it home I checked the hose on top it was pretty soft and not very hot I checked the water in the resovoir and it was at about the right level....the funny part was even after the engine was still warm according to the guage I was able to remove the cap with out any hissing or pressure relief. I ran the engine with the cap off and there was no bubbles in the rad. no oil I could see and no water in the oil. I could see the water circulate(sorta) I am not sure how strong I should see it. I have one of those AZ caps with the pressure relief valves on it, could that be the problem
