edit: 1998 Mustang GT
Don't know much about cars, so I figured you all might help. I've got a coolant leak, the origin of which is pretty uncertain. It leaks very quickly for a while, and then later stops. There's some coolant around the thermostat, so I've been told it is most likely the thermostat gasket not sealing properly. The thermostat makes a sort of repeated clicking noise after the engine's turned off.
The other interesting thing is that, earlier today, I noticed that the coolant level was very low in the reservoir, but then I drove it for a while and it was almost full. My understanding is that engines have an overflow reservior, is it possible that it's somehow been overfilled and that's why it's leaking?
I'm just grabbing at straws because I'd rather buy a $2 o-ring than go to a mechanic.
