Why does your radiator sound like its drinking anit-freeze when you open the overflow tank?

When you drive the overflow is pressurized when the engine heats up. As it cools down, the engine will "drink" the anti-freeze out of the overflow reservoir. It is most likely making a sound like when you turn a milk jug upside down and let it drain? Chug, chug,...etc. A vacuum occurs in the overflow reservoir when the anti-freeze is taken back into the system and you are hearing the equalizing of pressures...like a milk jug.

Why is antifreeze coming out of overflow?
If it makes a boiling sound when it comes out then it is probably a bad radiator cap.
Can you remove the radiator cap on a Pontiac grand prix 3.8L motor 1999?
I am not trying to sound stupid, this is my question. There is a radiator cap and the overflow bottle as well, but the cap only turns slightly but will not lift off, and before I break something I just want to know that it will come off.
What could be the hissing sound that comes from under the car when the engine is turned off after a drive?
Could be a leak in a radiator hose, or radiator. ==Answer 2, Another Possibility== It could also be the radiator cap pressure relief valve action which vents coolant and/or coolant vapor to the coolant overflow reservoir/tank when steam is created in the coolant passages in the engine block. When the engine is shut off, the residual heat in the block can cause the additional pressure and/or steam.j3h.

I would say you better add more coolant
Why do you hear a running water noise under the dash of your 1999 Lincoln Navigator?
Generally the running water sound under the dash is air trapped in the coolant system. This air then circulates through the heater core. Just check the coolant level in the radiator and make sure the overflow reservoir is full. Run a few heating and cooling cycles of the engine and recheck. This should help take care of the sound.

Is the sink overflow made to prevent the sink from overflowing even if the drain stopper is down and the water if fully on?
In my experience, I would say no. Several reasons can prevent the overflow from working. Since the overflow of the sink is rarely used it has a tendency to be blocked at the lower portion where the sink joins the drain pipe. During normal use and over years the holes in the sink drain at the point where the overflow and drain pipe meets has a tendency to clog making the overflow drain slowly. You can notice this when your sink drains with a "gulping" sound. You can test the overflow drain and see how obstructed it is, but do it slowly and do not turn on the faucets on full.
