Default Overheating, lame!

I was driving around and started smelling coolant so I pulled over to pop the hood. Noticed that the top radiator has had come off, so I put it back on and tightened it. Drove it around to a place where I could top it off again(since I had lost a considerable amount of coolant I assume). It's still overheating, which was when I noticed the fan was not kicking on after it had overheated.

I replaced the 40a orange fuse before(3-4 years ago) and thought it was behind the speedo. Am I wrong on this? Since I see others state it's under the steering wheel. Or is it different 318ti versions. Mine is a 1998. Looking for my manual as I speak, just wanted to get this out of the way in case I got an answer.

It took a couple fills before I topped it off, so it is circulating from what I see. Assuming it's not a thermostat issue. I also noticed a little leak come from under the car near where the oil pan is. Haven't quite figured that one out yet. So I hope it's not that damn 90deg elbow thing behind the engine. I replaced that around 4 years ago as well, but that made a bigger puddle. There's really no puddle from this, it leaks then stops after a while.


Thanks for any feedback.
