Best Answer

The radiator cap controls the amount of fluid to your reserve. So if it were stuck open as the engine heats it would spill into the reserve. Also any problem that would make your engine overheat could keep the cap opened longer then desired. Overheating engines with other than cooling problems could stem from blown head gaskets or piston rings.

How do refill the coolant on a Saturn sl?

The plastic coolant reservoir on the fender feeds directly into the coolant system. Just add coolant to the reservoir and if you have drained the coolant or otherwise emptied the system, you may need to check the level in the reservoir after running the engine, or more accurately, after the engine has cooled. Once the coolant level has stabilized, just check it periodically to make certain that the coolant level never gets too low.
