after 5 min of engine running my temp gauge quickly reaches to 3/4 hot and it is blowing cold air from the vents- checked the coolent level- seems ok- there was a leakage underneath bonnet near the passeger side the other day, an orange oil type fluid- but nothing since then after topping the coolent- no signs of any water bubbles anywhere or mayo under the oil cap to suggest it might be a head gasket-

can any one help me please

you may need to bleed your cooling system. there are 2 bleed screws one on the hose going to the heater matrix and one near the top of the radon the passenger side. open these bleed screws to let out any air from the system and then top up your coolant. engine will need to be warm to do this so be careful not to scald yourself
