Coolant overflow and engine overheating can occur due to several reasons, such as a malfunctioning thermostat that prevents proper coolant circulation, a failing water pump that doesn't circulate coolant effectively, or a radiator blockage that impairs heat dissipation. Additionally, a leak in the cooling system can lead to low coolant levels, causing the engine to overheat. It's essential to diagnose the issue promptly to prevent potential engine damage. Regular maintenance and checks can help avoid these problems.

How do check the coolant levels in a Chevy Malibu?
Look on the side of the coolant overflow bottle. There should be a low mark for the coolant for a cool engine, and one for a hot engine.
How does a pressure coolant tant work?
It collects the expanding coolant that is heated by the engine and recycles it back into the coolant system once it loses enough heat. The radiator overflow tank works in conjunction with the radiator cap to protect the engine and prevent coolant loss due to overflow. Source: Quora.com
