is it losing water if so where from

Radiator.. expansion tank overflow, water pump hoses .. is the carpet wet?

if not losing water, is the oil showing signs of contamination?

is the t-stat recent or stuck closed ?

 

Grrrrrr

Have you done the newspaper test on the viscous fan? Fan should be locked on startup, then loosen up and then go solid again as it starts to feel the heat.
