1st warm day. Saw the engine temp jump at first to 70%, then sat down at 50% until I got home. Was driving for an hour. Also, it normally sits at 30%. Ideas? I have been told I have a small trans axle leak. Could it be related? Should I check oil & coolant levels?

Yeah, forgot to mention the cap. Also another way of testing the head-gasket is with the engine cold grab onto the radiator hose and have someone start the car. If the hose firms up you have gasses escaping into the cooling system.
