Just purchased this car a few days ago and as long as it sits at idle it holds normal operating temperature. If I drive it the temperature will start rising and run hot. I'm suspecting a faulty thermostat, but wanted other opinions. ALso is there an overflow valve or tube on the coolant tank that when its running hot will open and leak water out so the tank doesn't explode? I have a drip under the car when it runs hot....after it returns to normal temperature the drip stops and if car is running in the garage it doesn't run hot or drip any water. Any ideas?

Contact Stever at <steve.klonsky@comcast.net>. He makes and sells Real Gauge that turns the temperature indicator into a "live" gauge. Good luck.
