Quick radiator question
Today i went to the store and came back and decided to check my fluids. When i took off the radiator cap some coolant overflowed onto the ground. Is that normal? I am running at regular engine temperature?

I think when you car is cold check the coolant level in the reservoir should be alright unless there's nothing then you will need to take off the cap and check the level inside the rad.

Water expands when heated, go figure.
Yes, you purge they system by removing the cap when the engine is dead cold. Start the car and the air bubles will surface. Let the engine warm up and all the bubles will be gone.
