This might be the cooling fan which in today's cars is electric and runs only when needed, not continuously like the 50's and 60's vehicles. When you sit idling, with no cooling air passing over the engine, the coolant temperature rises and causes the fan to switch on. This could also happen during acceleration.

on any car it is usually the thermostat. or low coolant level. if level is check radiator cap it may be loose or defective. but if it is dripping coolant from under engine it is your water pump. check under your car after about 10 minutes or so after you have parked if their is coolant or if you smell coolant under the hood after you park it most likely a water pump. Do not try to drive while it is over heated it will cost you a lot of money in damage.
