Yes but before you do check and test for a leak
Check your oil if it has changes color to light like a coffe with a creamer in it...if so you have a water pump problem, probably a oil seal oi the impeller side....most common problem with vino 50cc 4 steoke water cooled engine (xc50, sa26j) model..if it is..it just a 8 dollar fix plus a small bearing that probably needs to be replace to..iif problem does not persist..changes your cylinder gasket...also an easy breezy fix will lost cost part replacement, I am sure that all you need to fix..
SOURCE: Radiator fan doesn't always turn on when engine gets hot
check fuses #25 and #6 (both 30 amp)
the fan thermostat is on the left side of the rad.
turn the ignition on, and after pulling back the boot, short across the two terminal with a screwdriver.
if the fan runs, fan and wiring are both good.
if it only runs when thermoswitch is shorted like this, switch needs to be replaced (get the low temp switch to prevent overheating - your temp gauge will not go over the middle position even on the hottest days; also get a low temp thermostat,and ALWAYS get a Saab stat, not an after market!)
if the fan doesn't run when switch is shorted, check for valtage between green wire and ground at the switch.
Voltage indicates faulty fan, if no voltage then check the fan relay J in the main fuse box.

Ronnie this soun ds like the thermostat is not opening all the time. this is an easy fix. the part probably cost about 8-15 dollars at autozone, dont forget to get the gasket also.
1-2 dollars. The guy at the counter can show you where it goes
SOURCE: draining radiator coolant
IF it was really dirty before empying the old coolant - you should do a flush before re-fill with the new collant.. You can get it at any local parts store.. Follow the directions..
IF SO - I highly recomend Lucas prduct.. More money - but really good stuff.
If it was not too bad - yes - run some water therough it..
Allways do 50/50.. If you use too much coolant - you risk the cooant gelling..
Also - there should be a Lucus pruduct that is a coolent additive and is also a great lubricant for the system and water pump - to make it last longer..
Please dont forget to rate well ;o)
SOURCE: Hi Honda crv (98) R overheating.
SOUNDS LIKE YOUR THERMOSTAT IS STICKING,REPLACE THERMOSTAT FIRST OVERHEATING WILL DAMAGE ENGINE.IF THAT DOSEN'T WORK HAVE WATER PUMP CHECKED.FANS WON'T TURN ON IF HEAT FROM ENGINE IS NOT FLOWING INTO RAD BECAUSE THEROMOSTAT STUCK CLOSED,OR WATER PUMP FAILING
