Hey guys
New to the forum
So today i drove over 200km, as i was on my way home i noticed my temperature gauge was 3/4 to the top. Then it slow decreased to just below the middle ( which is where it normally sits). This occured a few times, and i was almost home so i decided to just risk it and drive all the way home. When i got home i decided to open the bonnet to check it out and let it cool and noticed there was oil splattered all over my engine. I also notice a sizzling sound around the clamp of the hose and it looks like all the oil is coming from this clamp area. There is also a pool of liquid below the hose clamp.

So i am hoping if i reclamp this up and top up the coolent the problem would go away. However, im not too sure what colour my coolant is and i know that the colour of the oil splattered everywhere is very similar to my transmission oil colour.

So my question is, if it is my transmission oil, would that even affect the temperature and is that clamp shown below related to the transmission oil? I thought it would be coolant going through that hose and if it is coolant, what would make the temperature go up and down like it did? If it isnt from that hose, where else could it come from if it is my transmission oil? What could it be?

I am very new to cars and car engines so im not too sure what the problem would be so i am hoping for some help.
Thank you guys in advance!
Mike
