I got to work this morning but I was like 10 minutes early so I was sittin in my 2001 pt cruiser listenin to music with my heat on. I shut it off cuz I was warm enough but then 2 mins later I started to hear a loud bubbling noise coming from my vents so I shut the car off waited a few seconds (cuz I was freakin out) then turned it back on. I saw that my temp light was on and my temp gauge was just above the redline. I turned it off popped open the hood and there was no leaks or spills. It smelt a little like coolant but I think that's just because I had my heat on. Other than that I am due for an oil change a trans flush and a coolant exchange but that doesn't explain the random heat spike or the bubbling noises...

Have to wait for it to cool down and check coolant level
if coolant low, pressure test needed to check for leaks
suspect thermostat and coolant fan operation
