it could be the thermostat a cracked coolant reservoir or leaking radiator or hoses

A simple test would be to put the car in your driveway. Leave for 30 minutes. For those with needing clean cement, put a flattened cardboard box out under it. Check to see what has dripped or run out.
Antifreeze has color for a reason BUT it also is a sweet agent for pets to lick and DIE.
If you are referring to when you shut your car off and then see moisture on the ground, verify your use of A/C just before this. The tell-tale is the color of the fluid on the ground. If you cannot fix this yourself, it gives explanation to the repair person.
If it's a question of too much fluid it can overflow, if it's a question about the fluid being too concentrated - don't worry about it.
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
You can run up to 75 percent antifreeze without any trouble. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually , Ford states not to exceed ( 60 % antifreeze )
A car's cooling system is designed to contain a certain amount of fluid. With too much in the system, the fluid will expand after reaching high temperatures and you might see a puddle of antifreeze. Don't worry, the puddle is due to the overfill Make sure to check your overflow reservoir after you shut off your car. Make sure that there is still some fluid left in it.
So that the water used as coolant in most car radiators does not freeze overnight. If it does then, because ice expands as it freezes and melts, it can crack the engine block. The antifreeze lowers the freezing point of the coolant and reduces the risk. The more antifreeze, the less risk of freezing. But too much and it will boil when the car is running. Additives in antifreeze also reduces corrosion and raises the boiling point.

Antifreeze/Coolant is a fluid that prevents the car from overheating or becoming so cold that it won't start. Without it, in the summer, your car would run too hot, and in the winter, your car wouldn't run at all.
Once your vehicle is warmed up, if you have antifreeze coming out of the overflow you have too much in your radiator.
Low antifreeze, No antifreeze, Stuck thermostat, plugged up radiator, Old radiator with no more fins to disipate heat, or all the fins are plugged full of debris, Antifreeze mixture bad(too much or too much water) one or the other is no good for 200 degrees but together they work great. also if your car? has to have all the air bled out of the system to function correctly.
yep Little and often is a good rule its wasting money applying too much.
drain radiator and refill according to percentage in manufacturers handbook. just drain half of it and top up with water,to much antifrezze will quickly corride internal parts of the engine,
Nothing. It will not hurt anything.
