yes, or should i say its supposed to. If your cars cooling system uses a expansion tank you have a problem on your hands, coolant should be flowing through the expansion tank on a regular basis(when the thermostat opens or closes). if you have a overflow tank, coolant flows in or out as needed by the systems heating and cooling cycles. If the radiator is low top it off then fill the resivor to the minimum cold level(shown on side of tank). But if your coolant levels are low you should ask yourself where is it going? if you cant find a external leak (around waterpump,bottem of radiator or hoses), then you might have an internal leak.

Open the hood and the Coolant reservoir on the '92 Previa is next to oil reservoir on the left side.

Now, turn on the car, during the engine running (about 10 minutes) kept check the level of coolant be sure it still maintains pass the full mark level. Screw back the radiator cap to coolant reservoir. Run engine for another 30 minute. This will ensure that thermostat is open and and ensure the fluid is circular all around of the radiator and hoses. Waite engine cool down, then open the radiator cap and check the coolant fluid level. If the level is low then add more coolant. Do not fill the coolant pass the full Mark's point. If the coolant fluid is still the same as in full mark then it is good. Continue to check the coolant fluid for next couple day. Besure that it is at the full level mark.

The extra coolant will simply be pushed into the reservoir once the coolant heats up enough. It is also possible that (especially if there is already some fluid in the reservoir) that it will be pushed out of the reservoir unto the ground. Radiator fluid (antifreeze) is toxic to animals (it tastes sweet and so animals may be attracted to it). Please clean up or spray down with plenty of water any coolant that leaks or pours on the ground.
