I drive a 1994 Ford Thunderbird LX that has 67,000 miles on it. It runs relatively fine, except that it has been over heating when it is driven. This has been going on for the past few weeks. At first it was only happening when I was idling at a stoplight and things of that nature, but now it does it when I am driving as well. It gets so hot that the "Check Gauges" light comes on. The thermostat was just replaced on it in April. On the front of the engine, there is a thing that sticks up and has a white cap thing on it. At the base there is antifreeze that seems to have leaked out. Obviously I think this is the problem, but I don't know what this thing is or how much it is going to cost to fix it. PLEASE HELP!

The part that is leaking, is it in the block? Or is it the recovery tank? Is it small? The size of a breadbox? If you have a digital camera, a quick snapsnot could be useful! If it's a small part, it could be the ECT or the sending unit. Either way if it's leaking it needs to be replaced!
