Turn on your AC and see what happens.

Not to hijack this post, but I would be more concerned with you low oil pressure!

Hi Fredkhaz, it might be a good time to remove the front bumper and do a very thorough radiator cleaning. I think you have three (3). 2 for coolant and one for the tip tranny. This may help a little. You can search and find the DIY instructions.
