There is an overflow hose behind the reservoir:) I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Alero and I have the same darn problem! Coolant spits out it, then all the sudden it runs hot and I have to fill it again. Think it has something to do with protecting the engine? Just wait for your water level light to come on in your dash. There is a sensor under the reservoir. Then fill it up. Ive tried everything aside from catching my alero on fire. I will never buy another one. Nothing but problems hard to diagnose.
I had this problem and tweaked the throttle and replaced the catalytic converter - fixed.
Rear of engine, underneath the exhaust manifold. you can follow the coolant line (approx. 2") tha runs underneath your engine, then runs up the back of the engine, up to the thermostat.
i have a 2001 olds alero 3.4 V6 and the thermostat on mine is underneath the throttle body...this may vary from your '99 vehicle, and it also may vary depending on your engine size
