I was driving and noticed the car was starting to overheat. I pulled over and opened the hood and there is a brownish clear fluid all over the place. It looks like it came from somewhere in the front of the engine compartment (maybe the radiator). Any idea what is leaking and causing the car to overheat?

Inspect for an external leak and then replace the thermostat and bleed the cooling system-see what happens-
