Sup guys need some advice. When ever i fill my colant it goes to the overflow tank and its all filled up and have no idea what could be causing this any ideas? Its s 95 gst. Thanks
 
If the coolant gets to hot it goes to the overflow bottle to cool it down then returns it to the system.Is is the stock overflow bottle?Check your temps maybe change your thermostat.
 
replace the radiator cap. if its not sealing good then coolant wont get sucked back into the system from the overflow tank
 
Alright ill try the thermostat and the radiator cap and see what happens and yes it is the stock overflow tank just that the coolant stays in the over flow and it hasnt overheated or done anything weird for this to happen.
 
Top off the radiator and overflow.
Start the car.

Are you loosing any coolant or over heating at all parked?

swith the car up to temp give a few quick rev's, try to involve boost.

Is it blowing out coolant from the overflow now?

if so try the radiator cap first, if thats fine that would be headgasket blowby.
