Well you pretty much need to get the radiator and get the thermostat in. Without the thermostat in, the water doesnt stay in the radiator long enough to cool. Thus the temp rises. Your mechanic took it out cause of the leaky radiator. No thermostat no pressure in the radiator, which will slow down the leak but as you see the temps going to go up. Bottom line get that fixed and your set.
