I've experienced this and had it boil down to air pockets in the cooling system. My fix was to run the engine for 10-15 seconds, then squeeze the top radiator hose with the radiator cap off. This would cause a change in the level in the reservoir, and eventually work the air bubble out of where ever it was hiding. With the radiator cap off, you will eventually see a stream of fluid coming out just below the cap as you squeeze the top radiator hose.
