Anytime you have overflow and the bottle fills up you will have air in your system which will cause overheating and more coolant will continue to fill the bottle and spill over on the ground.

If the Thermostat, Water Pump, Overflow Bottle and Radiator Cap are in good working condition then most likely you might have air in the system that needs to bleed, which you can do by parking the car on an incline with the front of the car higher than the rear. With the engine off and cool open the radiator cap and top off the radiator. After filling the radiator fill the overflow bottle the max line. The only way for the overflow bottle to fill up with coolant is if the car gets hot, the pressure pushes up on the radiator cap and causes coolant to fill the bottle from the radiator. If it still happens then u need to change the radiator.

Hi Eric my name is Chris I have question for you. I have a 90 honda accord dx and I recently rebuilt the engine. I changed the water pump, thermostat, it has two new fans that run correctly, when I drive the car it doesnt run hot but when I use the A/C it starts to overheat. I have changed the radiator about a year and a half ago. When I was in the process of rebuilding the engine I noticed that there was a bit of blockage around the number 4 cylinder wall also my thermostat gasket had deteriorated a bit and went into the cooling system. I tried to flush the radiator before I had placed it back in. While I was flushing the radiator I noticed pieces of the thermostat gasket were stuck in the channels of the radiator along with other sediments. I tried to flush the radiator with some hot water and noticed that only one side of the radiator was feeling hot and the other was not. The side thats not getting hot is the side where the A/C fan is located. Does this mean that there is blockage in there and the fan cant cool that side?

When bleeding the system it helps to park the car on an incline with the front higher than the back.
