Not a huge problem, but its definately an indicator of something. It is running 25-30* higher than the tstat.

After re-rereading, I see that the idle temp is high also. If thats the case, disregard plugging the top holes on the drive. They would be completely submerged and throws the sucking air theory out the window.

There is a water flow issue or an obstruction somewhere.

Good to hear. Probably the easiest thing to change that has been causing you grief. Glad you figured it out.
