Ok, I'll try to make this not too confusing. In May after an oil change I noticed that I had coolant splatter around my plastic resevoir/battery area/fan area/etc..). My oil was way low but I never overheated and my heater guage was always under half. My coolant level was almost at the top of the resvoir. everyone told me to relax and that I was just overfilled (I had a flush and fill from the dealership last fall).
I kept a close eye and by this month my car is not leaking coolant and I am still above the max level on the resevoir.
BUT-today my heat guage would go to just below the "H-red zone" (did it twice) at a stop than go back to the consistant halfway mark. My oil level is good and I have plenty iof coolant. I have a Haynes book but I want the Answers community's input on this. My car did sit cold all day yesterday (never drove it) just to let you know. my oil is not milky either (I was paranoid about the head gasket because I really let the oil run low in May to the point of the oil filter having little oil in it).
It could be a fan issue but I am not sure whne the fan is supposed to come on after the car idles in park. I have to go on vacation starting Fri. night and I was going to wait until I came back buit I am worried about driving this week.
