And Will the coolant circulate if the possible overheating issue (which is Normally the Case)is caused by a Stuck Shut Thermostat.

How would you know ?..

And One of the other problem when leaving the engine running is the Fact that there might be a leak in the cooling system and the engine is rapidly Running Out of Coolant.

This is apparently just a bit of useless Information, it up to the owner (driver) to make their own decision on the matter.

Good Luck.

Hopefully, the LCA would alert the driver to a leak if there was one. If in doubt, as with anything mechanical or electrical that is malfunctioning, switch the engine off.
