Car on level ground. Engine warm- low idle. Parking brake must be working, Engine running, transmission in neutral. Check transmission dip stick.

Bad water pump , problem with engine cooling fan ( if it is actually running hot and not a problem with the gauge or sending unit )

check it on the dipstick while the engine is running in either park or neutral.
