Antifreeze can flow into the overflow tank due to the expansion of coolant as it heats up during engine operation. When the engine reaches high temperatures, pressure increases, causing excess coolant to overflow into the reservoir. Additionally, a malfunctioning radiator cap or a cooling system leak can also lead to coolant being forced into the overflow tank. When the engine cools down, some of this coolant may be drawn back into the system.

How does the overflow tank work?
if your water/antifreeze gets to hot it pushes out the over flow tube into the overflow container, as it cools down it will suck it out of the overflow and back into the radiator.
What are the signs of thermostat need replaced?
The best indication of a bad thermostat is when the radiator fluid (Antifreeze) boils over from the reserve tank, not the radiator. This is caused by the thermostat not opening at its preset temperature and all the extra antifreeze is pumped directly to the reserve tank. You will also have loss of power and the vehicle will likely stop running soon after the antifreeze boils over.

it sounds like your coolant over flow tank is leaking. it is a common problem with these cars. might also check your radiator for leaks or your exhaust for coolant, but if there is coolant in your exhaust that would mean blown heads
