drives.
its not my daily driver, so i don't get to drive it that often. i notice that after driving long distances on the highway (240 mi), and idling around a parking lot for a bit, the temp gauge will register a "cold", as in cold engine start cold. during the highway operation, the gauge seemed to be at normal operating temperature whenever it was checked. gauge does not vaciliate any during that time, either. does this sound like a temp sender issue, or a thermostat/cooling system problem? thanks.
ps, there is a small-moderate sized leak at a hard to access hose clamp, which empties the coolant overflow tank once every 3 months or so. the water at this particular instance, however, was normal.
