To remove the coolant overflow tank on a 1997 Neon, first ensure the engine is cool and the coolant level is low. Disconnect the negative battery cable for safety, then remove the hoses attached to the overflow tank, taking care to catch any residual coolant. Unscrew any mounting bolts or clips securing the tank, and gently lift it away from its position. Finally, clean the area and inspect for any leaks or damage before replacing or reinstalling a new tank.
Coolant is old.
YOU add coolant to the overflow catch tank not directly to the rad,when motor is cold remove catch tank cap,if you can barely touch the fluid with your longest finger then you are ok.do not fill to the top,as is fluid will just overflow on to the ground
An overflow tank is a bottle that holds coolant that expands and leaves the radiator under driving conditions. The Coolant will go back into the radiator as needed.
A coolant overflow tank and a radiator overflow bottle serve similar purposes but are distinct components. The coolant overflow tank is designed to collect excess coolant that expands from the radiator when the engine heats up, preventing pressure buildup. In contrast, the radiator overflow bottle typically refers to a specific type of tank that captures overflow from the radiator directly, allowing for the coolant to return to the system as it cools. Both components help maintain the proper coolant level, but they may be used in different cooling system designs.

in the overflow tank
how do I replace my 2005 fiesta expansion header tank
The overflow tank is either cracked or its overheating and leaking from the cap
Its either in the coolant overflow tank or in the side of the radiator
The overflow tank for coolant will "boil" if there is air getting in the coolant chamber. This can be a head gasket going bad.
Usually a blown head gasket.
