Replace the cap on the expansion coolant tank . If the seal is faulty or old or split it is doing nothing and needs a new one . Plus we have no info on what model you have this will make it hard to help you .You could post a picture of the leak .If it as a leak the coolant wll never circulate. Test thermostat but puting it in a bown of hot water from cold and see if it opens up. Or it might be stuck open .

It would help if you would be more specific about "overheating". I'm not familiar with your year/model or fan setup, but on my '88 the clutch fan does not engage until about 100C and the auxiliary electric fans don't engage until 105C. In cool weather it usually runs about 80C.

If your car has an actual temperature gage, what readings are you seeing under what conditions.

Also, I had trouble reading you post due to lots of spelling and grammatical errors.

A can of gloop isn't going to stop anything from leaking on a Mercedes except possibly coolant through the radiator and heater core. Fix the leak, flush out the contaminated coolant, replace the thermostat, and then re-evaluate the cooling system's performance.
