What can cause the radiator water to leak from the top of the reservoir tank?

It might be a bad thermostat, or something worse, such as a blown head gasket/cracked head. Either of those scenarios will cause the cooling system to pressurized beyond it's specified capacity, and the pressure will force the coolant out of the reservoir.

Why does my new radiator hose still leak?
Did you get the hose clamps tight? Did you puncture a hole in the bottom of the radiator? Did you get the petcock closed all the way? You didn't overtighten the petcock at the bottom of the rad did you? Is your water pump good? Did you put thermostat in the right way?????????????

You always fill up the water reservoir of the radiator of vehicle because it is always getting emptied when you run the vehicle. any causes or what shall you check?
Could be a hose leak, a radiator leak or a head gakket leak. The water in the reservoir will get "sucked" into the cooling system if the level get low. Look for water on the ground or signs of spray under the hood. If it's a head gasket, look for water dripping from the exhaust pipe on start-up and/or steam. That would indicate that water is getting into the combustion chamber.
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.
