The temperature gauge needle rises and falls back about every seven seconds while driving down the highway?

While sitting in traffic it rises very quickly but cools upon normal driving, once in awhile I will notice a small puddle of coolant under the car after shutting the car off. Is it possible the water pump is going?

A partially plugged radiator may be causing your problem. Have the radiator “boiled” out at a radiator service center. Also, have the cooling system checked for leaks.
