Default Stealership over filled my coolant reservoir, could this cause coolant to leak out?

I told the service guy to top off the fluids, but I didn't mean over fill them... would this cause some coolant to leak. I noticed that there was a puddle of coolant underneath the car this morning... the puddle was about 5-6" in diameter. I checked the coolant temp sensor, nothing was leaking out of there. It seems to be coming from underneath the coolant resorvior when I look underneath the car.

Or maybe my coolant pump is going out..., just coincidence?

any thoughts...

Yes, it will let the coolant overflow from the hose on the back of the resevoir

Default so then... I shouldn't worry?

Once the coolant is between the range that is indicated on the tank itself... hence "max and min"

also... how you liking the 350Z?

I might be in the market for one

thanks. Joe
