pete_scorpa3 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 First thing to check is the radiator cap. You could be loosing pressure causing the system to overheat/overflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblenorbed Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 If you`ve recently filled it, it could be over filled. If this is the case then it is perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jse Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi all, i have coolent dripping out of the overflow pipe on my 98 270. any advice? cheers, tom, It's normal for the coolant to be at the bottom of the filler neck. If you fill it up all the way, it will dribble some out the overflow pipe as the coolant expands. Expect a little at first and then it should stop if you filled it up to the top.
