TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWS THE CAR IS HOT, I HEAR A GRINDING SOUND, LIKE A CHEAP GAS SOUND, UNDER THE HOOD IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL HAS SPEWED FROM SOMEWHERE... HELP?

UPDATE: I HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED BY A FRIEND MECHANIC AND IT COST ONLY THE $15.00 PARTS; IT HAD THE ORIGINAL THERMOSTAT, NOT TOO BAD FOR 8 YEARS
