When you loose coolant do you top it up after?

Be careful to only fill the tank to the correct line marked on the tank.

I mention that because if you overfill the tank it will always barf out the surplus while you are slowed and typically parking the car.

I only had this problem once when I decided that the coolant level needed to be near the top line and the car was on a bit of an incline so on level ground it promptly barfed the rest out after a drive while parking.

There was no issue, just too much liquid and not enough expansion room in the bottle due to my overfilling it.
