I think that it will be hard to see fluid movement.

When the car overheats, turn the heater on full blast. This will help cool down the engine to prevent damage.

When the engine is cold, turn on the a/c and check that both radiator fans are running.

If the ac is not functioning, find "thermo a" on/near t-stat housing-follow the lower hose to where it connects to engine- there is a two wire green connector. Remove it, use a paperclip or wire and jump the two "wires" in the connector together (not in the switch-the wires ?? GRN and BLK ??), turn the car to "on" -doesn't have to be running, just the key to on - and see if BOTH fans on the rad come on.
