you have a leak in a hose or your radiator itself. Look for antifreeze dripping from under car while engine is running and hot enough for the fan to kick on.

Why would steam be coming out from the radiator cap?
Radiator caps are pressure relief valves. They are rated at "pounds per square inch" and are designed to release some pressure from the radiator if it gets too high. If an engine overheats it can boil the coolant and this will cause the radiator cap to let out steam. Radiator caps DO lose their ability to regulate pressure and can release too soon. If the engine has not overheated, have the radiator cap tested and replaced as necessary.

Should steam radiator valves always be open?
Steam radiator valves should always be fully open, or fully closed. Steam enters the radiator from the boiler, and fills the radiator. The air vent shuts, having sensed moisture inside the radiator. The steam then cools, condenses to water, and drains from the radiator. If you leave a valve partially open, then the steam enters easily, because of the pressure. But, the water has a difficult time draining, so the radiator can collect it, and steals it from the furnace, which needs it for resupply.

Why does a car radiator produce steam when broken down in the summer?
There are plenty of ways a car can break down without the radiator being a part of the cause. As for the reason you'd see steam from a radiator, it would escape if there was a leak in the radiator or the hoses, or if the cap was opened. The contents in a radiator are very hot - hot enough to produce steam.
What can cause white smoke coming out of vents?
That is probably antifreeze steam. Your heater core is a small radiator used to heat your car. The engine heats the antifreeze and circulates it through the heater core. Your blower blows heat through the core (radiator) into the car, and warms you. If the core gets a small leak, it will put out steam.
