Temp gauge not working?

So, you added coolant and had a little overflow? That by itself doesn't indicate that there's anything wrong at all. It's not at all uncommon to see a little overflow after you've topped the radiator off.

It's a little worrisome that your gauge never goes past the half way mark. Obviously it could just mean that your cooling system works really well, but it may also indicate that there's a problem with the gauge. If the radiator cap is in good working condition and all the connections are tight now you'll have to confirm that the gauge reads accurately.

I assumed it was just overflow coming off the first time it happened. Yesterday was the third time. It has never gotten to the point where steam was coming out or it was really running out of the radiator but there would be a small puddle under the car and some around the top lip of the radiator.

The only time my gauge goes above half way is when I drive the car then stop and turn it back on. The gauge will peg then within a few seconds of the engine running it comes back to the middle.
