Tom is right, so is Jim....but another way to tell is pull your motor oil dipstick. It should be amber /clean or even black if you have not done an oil change lately. If it is overfull and a light brown/tan that spells trouble, but I agree with those guys. Check thermostat and tension of belt to be sure water pump is turning.
