Definitely sounds like an air pocket - try lifting the D ring on the expansion valve & leave open for 2-3 days (several heat cycles) and see if the coolant drops even further. Top up as required....

Wouldn't leaving the valve open invite air into the system? Shouldn't the valve release any pressure after it reaches a certain amount in the system?

I left the valve open for a couple of days and I am still having overflow problems. I can hear hissing coming from the relief valve even after I changed the o rings. I am at a loss. The cap is new the tank and valve are also new.
