    Get a old coke bottle and fill it half full of water.Put the over flow tube inside the bottle below water .Start engine and look for bubbles,there should not be any.If there is this is compression leaking into your cooling system. Could be a head gasket or a problem with electrolois.If there is no bubbles you may just be overfilling resoir,it needs a little air space.

    You probably have it fixed by now, but the tank on the radiator may be clogged and the seals rotted, so it leaks.
