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.
in the over flow tank
something.
You have a leak somewhere. If you can't see it, then possibly a cracked head gasket.
Most of the time, when the engine is cool (not warm or hot), it should be filled to the line indicated on the over-flow tank. The anti-freeze over-flow tank is located on the passenger side with a large round top.
the radiator is right in front on the motor, you can see it through the grill. but keep the over flow tank to the propper levels as well.
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.
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.
there is an antifreeze overflow tank, look on the radiator next to the radiator cap and there should be a smallish hose, follow it and you will find the tank.
The car normally pushes it out the over flow.
put coolant into my over flow car was running hot and the coolant erupted like a volcano on the side of the over flow
To drain the over flow from a tank or fixture
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
