Oh- thanks. Well, it was not going past 100*C. In fact, the highest was barely above the horizontal. About 85*C?

Oh Lord- please do not mention cracked head or head gasket. That would kill it for me. There is no water (anti-freeze) in the oil, nor oil in the water (anti-freeze), so I am sure that is not it. It did not even overheat, but I was unsure as to where this should be.

I am thinking that the PO had added some to bring it up to par for the winter months and may have been overfilled?

I will just drive this car until the wheels fall off I guess.

Is the cooling system building a lot of pressure? Hmm I'm a little stumped on this one. I'm used to diesels, in 603 world lots of cooling system pressure would be a cracked head or bad head gasket.
