I just got my stock crx si running last week for the first time since I changed the headgasket. I started the car a couple times and the coolant level went down. So I add coolant. I figure that I only filled the radiator full of coolant and the block was empty so the coolant resivor was emptying b/c there wasn't coolant in the block. So again today I added a little more coolant. I filled the resivor to a little over the max. line so that I wouldn't have to refill the resivor so often. So tonight after I drove my car I checked the coolant level in the resivor and now the coolant is above the max. line even more than were I had filled it to. I checked again when the engine was still a little warm and the coolant level in the risvor was still up.Why would there be coolant filling up the resivor?

 

Bump I need some help.

 

Fluid expands when it's hot. The only place it can expand to is the reservior
