98 caravan after sitting about 10 minutes idling with a/c on all of a sudden
temp gauge starts going up. Revved up engine and started coming down.
Fans are working fine. Kicking on, but temp still goes up. Water pump is
fairly new, no leaks, but reservoir tank was low. could I have a thermostat problem. Just happened at lunch going to check radiator level when it cools
down.

well after filling up, now I am getting about 5 drips after parking. looks like coolant. water pump only has about 15 k on it. can't see where it is coming
from. near the bottom of the crankshaft area. not big enough to trace
from. near the bottom of the crankshaft area. not big enough to trace

would be best to check while system is under pressure.sometimes using a mirror to check the pump is helpful.what brand wp was put on??if it was a cheaper brand then it maybe the water pump

good idea. I am going to do that when I get home.
