In a Car:

A tank to hold "overflow". When fluids heat up, they expand, and like radiator fluid, they need a place to go until they cool.

Some cars keep these under some pressure, and if there is a leak, then an engine light will now come on. In the older cars, a leak in this tank would be a minor problem because you'd loose fluid when it leaked out of the overflow.
