As time passes water in the fluid evaporates and needs more so it Will suck it out of the overflow. It Will also dump it into the overflow if it overheats.

Why would the low coolant light come onon a 2000 Sable?
In the engine compartment, on the left side of the engine is the coolant reservoir. In the coolant reservoir, there is a sensor at the bottom of the reservoir. This sensor is supposed to let you know when you are low on coolant, but can also become defective, and give you a "false-positive" reading. The only way to know this is to check your coolant when the low coolant light comes on. If there is a significant decrease in coolant, you may have a problem in the cooling system , but if you don't, chances are the sensor isn't working. If the sensor is the problem, you can unplug it from the coolant reservoir, by unscrewing the two screws holding the reservoir to the car's inside firewall, then tilting the back of the coolant reservoir forward until you see wiring coming from the bottom of the reservoir, which is the plug for the low coolant sensor. Unplug the sensor, and the low coolant light won't come on anymore. However, you will now have to make sure you check your coolant level in the reservoir on a regular basis.
How do you remove coolant reservoir on BMW z4?
If I were wanting to remove the coolant without draining the whole system which would do the trick, I would siphone the coolant out with a small hose like cleaning out an aquarium. Put the hose in the coolant reservoir and use a apparadius to start the sucking and eventual withdrawal of the liquid. Ken

What happens when you over fill the recovery coolant tank?
When all the coolant in the radiator and coolant tank heats up the volume will increase and force it's way through the weakest point which would probbaly be the cap on the recovery tank - if you have filled the recovery tank to the maximum you had better take half of it out.
Why could your 94 BMW be using so much coolant?
It probably has a leak. Here's something to check - the radiator has a tube coming out to the reservoir, so when it gets hot and expands the coolant goes into the reservoir and should go back into the radiator when it cools, but if your reservoir has a crack and the coolant leaks out, well it's gone and can't go back into the radiator - this would cause a lot of loss of coolant.
