Engine Cooling problem
2003 Chrysler 300 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 50000 miles

could not get the website to take my reply to tech's answer
If it was from the water pump wouldn't I see coolant somewhere. When I let the coolant drop I lost a cup or more and my heat at idle in gear was no as hot as usual, put it in neutral brought up the rpm's and it blew hot. When I got home I let it cool down and brought up the coolant level, the heat was fine. Could it possibly be the recovery tank cap?

If it was the water pump you would see fluid comming out of the weep hole on the bottom of the pump. Water pumps usually go bad and leak from this hole. The fluid level may have been down quite a bitto loose heat. If anti freeze is comming out of the recovery tank then it would seem like the thermastat is sticking limiting the amount of coolant circulating bringing the temp up, making the coolant expand and pushing the overflow full making it spill out
