Started overheating, possible leak?

[Slippery Pete]

I have a stock 2022 Willys XR 2.0 with 29,200 miles. Today while on my way home from work I noticed that the Coolant Temp (212-219) and Oil Temp (210-213) were higher than normal (190-192). It was 90 degrees out and a lot of stop and go traffic.
I checked for possible coolant leaks when I got home but couldn't find any pink fluid but found what looks like oil. I checked my oil and it appeared ok, I changed my oil approx. 1,000 miles ago.
Hoping someone can give me some advice on what to look for. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Pics attached...(last one is possible battery leak?)

I don’t see anything abnormal in your pics. I’d venture a guess and say that it was the 90 degree outside temp and the stop & go traffic. If the vehicle didn’t throw any warnings/codes, you should be OK.

My coolant temp runs 220 regularly, no issue for this modernish engine.

Thanks. It's always ran in the 190s. It's supposed to be cooler here tomorrow, I'll see what it runs. I just wanted to be proactive before something gets worse.

The numbers are normal. In my case it’s normal to have the coolant temp 220 and oil temp 240.

Oil temp of 240 is not normal.

Your coolant was full when you checked it?

Sorry! I checked it this morning cold. The level was normal in the front one and the black one was just below the add line.

I just fixed a coolant leak on my 2.0.

i see temps 190-220 on the normal. temp tends to run a little high with the a/c turned off due to the fan not kicking on as often. i haven't had any issues. ( yes i know i have the 3.6L and not the 2.0 but temps from people ive chatted with run the same

On the way to and from work today (58/72 degrees), engine ran its normal temp of 190-192.
