Are you losing coolant?
With the car stone cold, remove the coolant filler cap and start the car. Look into the cooling system...do you see a steady stream of bubbles coming from inside the engine? Now rev it by grabbing the throttle body. Do the bubbles increase or does coolant gush out? If so, then you are probably looking at a bad water o-ring.

A good friend and mechanic with rotary experience came over today and he said it was most likely the coolent o ring just like you said... He is coming back tomorrow with a trailer to take it to his house to fix. He said he will basically charge me for parts and a little labor. What can I expect this to cost me?
