What does an overflow container do?
An overflow container prevents coolant loss. As coolant heats it expands. Without the tank, excess coolant would be forced from the radiator and be dumped on the ground. As coolant cools it is drawn back into the radiator so it always stays full.
What if you pour coolant into the overflow and the coolant instantly pours on to the ground what could be wrong?
A leak. You need to see where it is coming from.
What is the small hose on top of radiator that goes all the way across it?
The overflow hose, that carries coolant from the radiator to either a reservoir on modern cars or to the ground on older cars.
What happens if you put too much coolant in the radiator?
The extra coolant will simply be pushed into the reservoir once the coolant heats up enough. It is also possible that (especially if there is already some fluid in the reservoir) that it will be pushed out of the reservoir unto the ground. Radiator fluid (antifreeze) is toxic to animals (it tastes sweet and so animals may be attracted to it). Please clean up or spray down with plenty of water any coolant that leaks or pours on the ground.
