What causes antifreeze to come out the overflow?

when your engine is hot it causes the water to boil and the water and the anti freeze will come out of the overflow pipe.


Where do you put antifreeze in 2004 Chevrolet Malibu?

On passenger side of the engine compartment, you'll see a see thru container with 3 small hoses coming out of it and a black cap. This is the coolant recovery tank and this is where you put antifreeze/coolant in.


Why would your radiator suck up antifreeze from the over flow?

If there is no leak visible so you can see antifreeze under the parked car, you probably have a head gasket going bad. You may have some signs of steam in your exhaust, or at least a sweet smell coming from the exhaust. You should have a compression test done on your engine. That is exactly what the overflow reservoir is for. When the engine is hot, excess coolant goes into the overflow tank, as the engine cools,it draws coolant back into the radiator.

Why does antifreeze backup into the overflow tank?

Heat from the engine causes liquid to expand. It used to overflow onto the ground if it caused enough pressure to open the radiator cap. The overflow tanks were installed to automatically catch and return the coolant to the cooling system.
