If the fan doesn't spin, the AC condenser might have a hard time dumping heat into the air. So that might account for the AC.

Start with the known problems: find the coolant leak and fix that.
The radiator fan will not turn on no matter how hot the car gets. I idled the car and watched the temp gauge to see if it'll overheat. It slowly rises till it reaches the exact middle then stays there for quite a while. This time I decided to wait a little longer, sure enough the car begins to overheat. I remember something about the temperature gauge being idiot proof I guess this is why it stays in the middle for so long.

Is it possible that the radiator fan was broken for a while causing the coolant to evaporate?

I double checked the AC, it kind of blows cold. When I stopped or idle for long time it beings to blow hot air. This confuses me, I was getting ice cold AC before.

Which fuse goes to the radiator fan? I over heated the car to almost RED, should I be worried?
