Yes, but:
When I pulled the thermostat yesterday (the prime suspect), the coolant felt really greasy: I thought there might be oil in it (but my oil levels were good).
After filling the car back up, I turned the car on to run the coolant through. And the system immediately went under not inconsiderable pressure, despite the engine & coolant being cold.
Admittedly, the hissing only happens after the engine has had a fastish run and got up to temp. But I'm still very concerned about it blowing up on me.
