running rough. No engine light came on, but the other day while returning home from out of town, the check engine light came on, it was running like it had bad spark plugs. When I pulled into the drive it seamed to be overheating, smelled not good. After it cools, it runs great. Could it be the T-stat? Also, I am getting plenty of heat out of the heater it that helps. I am a DYI, but I sure would like to know where to start.
Thanks for all of the comments so far.

Is the CEL still on?
Can you pull codes from the OBD-II
your CEL may or may not be related to your coolant issue.
do you still get water near your right rear. was it overheating when this occured?
was it after sitting you noticed -- or while running?
There is an overflow tube there as well as the possibility of a cracked
coolant resovouir that maybe only leaks under pressure?
Is there any oil in your coolant or vis versa?
