Funny water tempreture

I have this problem just few days ago, the water temp will go down by a little bit when driving, and when idleing the water temp comes back to normal. I have new water pump and coolant from last year april, someone please enlighten me. Could be a coolant leak?
Is coolant supposed to evaporate a little or I am having a leaking gasket? I don't see any where leaking either my rad or hoses.

thanks

The wife's old CRX used to do the same thing. It was the thermostat.

i think its because your driving and the air is cooling of the engine a little and when your at idle your engine warm back up.,

unlikely... but if you got a vac leak, you should fix it.
