Coolent temp
Was driving the 98 today and just so happen to have coolant temp display on..I was running around 217-225 at driving speed with a high idle temp of 230.What is the CI(cut in)temp for the electric fans and is 230 to high?It's in the mid 80s here in Minn today.I also had a little coolant on the floor when I backed out of the garage.Clark.

Those temps seem normal, but the coolant on the floor does not.
My '98 had the water pump gasket fail, and I believe this is quite common on the early model c5's. You need to find out where it is leaking from and get it fixed before you end up overheating.
