My 1990 Panda FIRE is overheating when stationary in traffic, but is fine when blasting 100 miles the M6 yesterday. Sometimes I see small drips of water leaking from the O/S of the engine under the oil filter/water pump position. The fan does switch on, but only when the temp is pretty well over 110C in the red. Any ideas? Is it likely to be a knackered water pump, or very slightly leaking head gasket? Is this a common problem on older Fiats? Is the water pump easy to change?
