Default gsr overheating

need some help figuring out wats wrong with my teg cause its overheating. dunno if its either the radiator or water pump. u can smell radiator fluid from inside the car when its running. and when its at a stop it starts overheating, when u drive it drops back down a little. but even when it drops down the temp is still really high like very close to the half mark. any help would be apreciated...

Could be the thermostat, when was the last time it was changed. Do you see any visible leaks? Is your fan kicking on?

You have answered your own thread. Fix all leaks, bleed the system of air. Replace the thermostat. And make sure the fans come on and your problems should go away. If not I would look into the head gasket being bad and test for it.
