I have since sucked out the extra and have the level right at the "MAX" mark.
Yes the 986 expansion tank has a plastic plate that can be removed if you take off the Coolant cap and the Oil fill cap. It the plastic base that sits under the caps. That is where you coolant over flow will be at. If you take a small bottle of water and poor it around the coolant and oil fill cap you will notive it leaking on the floor at the right rear tire. Normal.
