Mine seems to sit at slightly over a quarter,,is that correct or should it be halfway?

Anywhere under half but above a quarter is spot on. Above that and start worrying.

WELL mine sits right at half when warmed up , however if she sits too long idling in a traffic jam she'll creep higher so i just put her in neutral and it keeps her regular .
