My car is overheating. New thermostat installed but problem still exists. Heats up while driving and sitting idle. Varies. When I turn heater on, it cools down to right temp. Coolant level in reservior varies greatly. I noticed a small leak under the car last night. Radiator fluid. Do I need a new radiator, water pump or just a new radiator cap. Or all the above? thanks.
