Even though it "keeps pushing coolant into the reservoir", the level of coolant in the radiator never goes down? sounds like you've read that this is usually a sign of a bad head gasket.

Let the car idle for a few minutes, take a sniff of the exhaust air. Does it smell like coolant and is there moisture on the tail pipe?

what i was saying was it pushes the coolant into the overflow and when i open the cap the coolant is at the top of the fins and when i pore the coolant that was in the over flow back into the radiator it fills it back up but i fixed it yesterday it was the hose to the overflow had a tear in it just big enough to suck air in but thanks guys
