Just buy some new section of hose, pretty cheap.
The radiator cap could be the cause of coolant reservoir overflow or backup. Have the cap checked to see if it is bad.
The engine coolant reservoir or the overflow bottle.
coolant overflow/reservoir tank
Near the bottom of the coolant reservoir ( overflow tank)
To check the coolant level of a vehicle first see look for the overflow reservoir. There should be a coolant dipstick with a level gauge on it. Remove it from the reservoir to see the coolant level.
Both. The reservoir is the overflow. But in the event your radiator is low, your reservoir will back it up.
The coolant expands when heated, contracts when cool. The coolant reservoir gives the coolant a place to come and go as needed.
In a 2003 Ford Windstar the engine coolant reservoir is in the engine compartment ( on the passenger side , it's the reservoir in the middle )
for most latest car and SUV model it is located beside the radiator. You can find it easily by following the overflow hose attached in the neck of the radiator. the end of it is the location of the coolant reservoir
Its inside the coolant overflow tank/reservoir (its the plastic reservoir where you pour in your coolant). Look on the side (the side that faces the engine) and you'll see an electrical wire is connected by a harness. That's your coolant level sensor.
Low oil causing the coolant to heat up to the point in which it's doing more harm than good so it's pushed into the overflow
As time passes water in the fluid evaporates and needs more so it Will suck it out of the overflow. It Will also dump it into the overflow if it overheats.
