are you talking about the coolant temperature sensor on top of the engine? if so, it's probably because that's the low pressure area (due to the water pump/coolant return path) so if you open that with the engine running it will suck in air.

the vent point is a high pressure area (on the other side of the water pump).

i'll bet if you open the sensor with a hot engine turned off, coolant will blow out.
