98 Overheating at idle
I've had a new problem surface within the past couple days. When sitting at a standstill my temp gauge starts to rise however when I start to accelerate it goes back to normal temp. I can definitely see I'm having a problem as you can also see from the pic. At the bottom you'll see coolant sitting on top of the fan, however if you look at the top of it, you can sort of see coolant just spitting out. This pic was taken immediately after shutting it off. Any ideas as to what this could be?

It looks like the radiator has a leak near the top. I don't see the coolant coming from the radiator cap, right? If so, replacing the radiator should fix the problem. Not a very difficult job if you are willing to tackle it.
Also, does the radiator fan run when the engine is hot?
