How bad is it for your car if you accidentally put some engine coolant into the oil tank?
Accidentally mixing engine coolant with oil can severely damage your car's engine. The coolant can dilute the oil, reducing its lubricating properties and leading to increased friction and wear on engine components. This combination can also cause sludge buildup, which can clog oil passages and lead to overheating or engine failure. If this happens, it's crucial to have the oil changed and the system flushed as soon as possible to mitigate damage.

As the engine coolant heats up, the coolant expands, so the coolant needs a reservoir or expansion tank to flow in and out of as needed.
Why is your coolant leaking from the top of the tank if the tank is to the line and why is it not going down?
Perhaps the coolant was overfilled. It will expand because of heat or pressure and the excess makes it way to the coolant refill tank. Make sure your coolant doesn't have oil in it. In a worst case scenario you could have a faulty head gasket or engine damage that allows engine oil to seep into the coolant. But if you don't see oil in the coolant, then just drain some off.
