I'm about to go insane..... So i have a 1998 Porsche Boxster and at start up the Temperature Gauge is already Blinking once every second and i drove just 80 NYC street blocks and the needle was near the 250 F and it was only 62 f degrees that day i immediately pulled over and turned off the car. I added a gallon of Porsche Coolant and a Gallon of water since has to be premixed 50/50 and the coolant reservoir isn't even at minimum level.

I don't see any leaking under the car and i checked under the carpet by the coolant reservoir and no leak. I turned on the A/C while i was parked and i could hear the fan come on at high speed. Any ideas or help?
