Fan... and overheating...

My fan dosn't seem to be turning on. I orignally check this and it was turning on when i initialy turned the car on. I checked this because my engine temp is getting 220 plus in stop and go traffic. So now I'm looking at it and it dosn't turn on. And now I'm seeing a leak, which was smoking when I opened the hood to see if my fan was working, whatever was leaking was ontop of the right manifold cover.

On the right Head above the starter, is the Fan switch. It is a little sensor that when the engine reaches 220, It grounds the fan to the engine witch turns on your fan. It's only about $10. If bad or broken it "CAN" leak Good luck!!!
