Does water in the reservoir circulate through radiator when engine runs?
No. When the engine is running coolant is heated and expands. Excess coolant then flows from the radiator to the expansion (overflow) tank. When the engine is shut down coolant cools and contracts drawing fluid back out of the tank to keep the radiator topped off.
Do you check the radiator liquid when the cars on?
NO! That would be dangerous. Cars' coolant systems are pressurized, so if you open the radiator cap while the engine is running, it will spray HOT radiator fluid (water mixed with ethylene glycol, usually) all over you, and sometimes drain the radiator of coolant.
Why is there a reddish substance with a low viscosity leaking out of your radiator?
It could be transmission fluid. Many transmissions are cooled by running a line through the radiator. Check for small tubes going into the radiator, if you only have the two large engine coolant lines, you don't have a transmission cooling line in the radiator.
What does reduced engine power mean?
It means that the engine is running HOT for some reason. Check cooling system real close. Thermostat, Fan clutch, radiator, Coolant leak, Fluid level
Does running your heater in your car use more gas?

What do you do if your car is leaking purple fluid?
It is probably Radiator fluid that's leaking. if you have red radiator fluid. it looks purple when it heats up. I had this from my Toyota Sequoia when the leak went over the hot engine.
What does it mean when the left side of your radiator was smoking and it damaged the radiator cap when you took it off there was a lot of coolant in the radiator?
Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.
