sorry if this has been asked before, but if i fill up the coolant well all the way full, and i start the car and let it warm up, some of it will come outta the overflow tube cause of the liquid expansion right?

yea i do, but im asking if it gets expanded enough to flow outta the little overflow tube if its practically full, i might sound like a retard asking this, but i gotta know, i saw it leak a lil bit under the resevior and i want to know if thats it.[/u]
