The excess will be pushed out.
What happens when you overfill car with antifreeze?
I don't think you can actually overfill a car with antifreeze. There is an overflow chamber that prevents this. Perhaps this overflow can be overfilled but in that case the worst thing that can happen is the little plastic cover pops off and you get some excess antifreeze on the ground. It might also depend on the car. when car gets hot it will push coolant to reservoir (expansion) and when cold, into radiator. this is the function of the rad. cap....if u overfill reservoir it will only leak out of fill cap to the grd
How do you know if you overfill your antifreeze reservoir?
Once your vehicle is warmed up, if you have antifreeze coming out of the overflow you have too much in your radiator.

Can your car smoke if you put to much antifreeze in it?
If you overfill the reservoir and radiator with antifreeze, it will generally expand as it gets hot and spill out of the reservoir. When it does that, it will usually spill onto the hot engine and create "smoke".
Can you open a hot radiator while the engine is running?
Absolutely not. If the radiator is hot it will explode antifreeze and give u severe burns. Now if you need to put water in it or antifreeze u can open up the overfill tank anytime. The overfill tank is a plastic tank on the side of the vehicle. Now some cars don't have overfill tanks. Take a Crown vic for example, their radiator IS a plastic chamber with a plastic cap which tells you, do not open when hot.Overfill tanks are plastic tanksNot all plastic tanks or overfill tanks.
