Runs Hot and Checking Oil

1) My C50 seems to run very hot and the fan kicks in every 60 seconds when I'm idling. Even the petrol tank gets warm. Is this normal?
2) In the little oil window, how do you tell if the oil level is right?

Well ambient temp around you, is it high?
Check your cooling system as it may not have good enough circulation. Beside the little window there is a little line telling you if you are in low, good or high oil level.

Cooling fan relay location

What year is the vehicle ? The cooling fan relays have nothing to do with the temp. gauge . GM had problems with the stepper motors inside the instrument cluster . Hooking up a professional scan tool to check what the PCM - engine computer is seeing from the engine temp sensor . You have duel cooling fans controlled by three relays . Checking to see what the actual engine temp. would be the first step , checking to see if the scan tool can control the cooling fans .
Look on youtube at videos on gm instrument cluster stepper motor problems

2001 JAGUAR X TYPE 2.5 petrol awd

How many fans do you have under your hood in front the of the engine between the engine and the front grill ? Sound like you may have two problems an oil leak and a over heating problem. first check the cooling fan or fans and make sure they are working. Second check the valve covers to see if they are leaking oil onto the engine or exhaust.

My 06 Grand Prix was getting hot, not overheating, but getting hot. The O2 sensor was replaced just prior to the problem, the radiator was flushed, the Thermostat was replaced, then the water pump blew...

You should make sure there is no air in the cooling system-from a cold start, let it idle until the radiator fan kicks on with the surge tank cap off-make sure the tank is fully up to level at this point, that should eliminate air in the system as a cause. If you do not have a scanner that gives live readings, get one so you can monitor the engine temp-a factory gauge is not overly accurate. Your temp when warmed up, air off should go to about 212-215 and the radiator fan should then kick on-temp should drop to about 200 and the fan should shut off-this is normal.

Daytona 955i running hot

That is quite normal - these bikes run very hot and will typically reach temp where fan kicks in (103 deg C) while bike is sitting at idle, even if not particularly hot weather. Needs good airflow through the rad to keep the temp down. 
Fortunately, when fan comes on it lowers the temp quite quickly.

1996 buick regal over heating

Hi,
This sounds normal to me..... Except "runs to hot when idling"

When you're driving about (airflow over rad) all seems fine, but when sat in traffic idling - the fans come on to cool. Is the problem that even with the fans running, temperature still goes up - and fans never turn off again?

Is this the problem?

If it is, then the coolant pump may be badly corroded, not driving efficiently, or the coolant needs flushing and replacing.
