thats normal. the overflow is there to catch extra fluid. the fluid expands when it gets hot and the pressure inside the system is greater than the radiator cap is rated for then the extra fluid is pushed into that bottle. when the car cools off there is a vaccum and the fluid is pulled back into the cooling system
