Just recently I've noticed my cobra getting hot when i sit for a period of time (95 degrees)... my guage never goes past half way, until I seen it a few weeks back, when I get moving my temp goes back down according to my guage......so I burped it and added coolant... since I've owned the car I've always smelt some antifreeze...but my oil is fine.... and my fans are working.... however I'm loosing coolant somewhere, is this just a leak in my lines somewhere? Or maybe waterpump?

Check to see if your fan kicks on. The stock connector likes to melt so the fan will work intermittently or not at all.

I read on some thread that if u have a leak it can effect the pressure in the radiator making it run hot?
