I wanted to know if my car is messed up? My car isnt over heating but i filled the coolent box to alittle bit less than max and a couple of days later the coolent box is filled to the top and its leaking out. If something is wrong please let me know.

 

The coolant box you are referring to is an overflow for the radiator. It is normal for the fluid level to vary some. Now as far as it going to the top and leaking out, well I have never had that happen... Not trying to say you aren't competant by any means, but is the overflow cap all the way tightened?

EDIT: You might also want to check your radiator cap, as it is what allows water into the overflow... If its bad, that could be your problem... Autozone has testing equipment for your radiator cap/radiator and can do it for free if that helps... Aside from that I am at a loss...

if they re ok..then bite ur tongue..could be a water pump

 

You might of put to much in. You only need to fill it to the min part when it is COLD.
