Normally when your engine is hot, the pressure seals the reservoir off from the radiater / pump / engine loop. Once you turn it off ( and the engine begins to cool ) the pressure is released and the reservoir ( overflow if you will ) drains into the rad / engine. What's happening is you are losing water either from the rad, a hose, or possibly into a cylander and that is creating space - therefore low coolant and your engine gets hot. Idle your engine until it starts to get toasy warm. You should either see a leak as the water sprays out, or if it is going into a cylander you should see smoke ( at least if you have antifreeze instead of pure water in it. Would blow whitish color smoke out the exhaust )

How often should a supply reservoir be drained for air breaks?
A supply reservoir should typically be drained for air breaks at regular intervals, often every 3 to 6 months, depending on the specific operational conditions and the amount of air or sediment accumulation. It's important to monitor the reservoir's performance and consult operational guidelines to determine the optimal frequency. Additionally, draining may be necessary more frequently if there are signs of excessive buildup or contamination. Regular maintenance helps ensure efficient operation and prolongs the lifespan of the reservoir.
