Re: IML: slight over flow from Radiator 66 Imperial

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

In hot weather that is normal.  On more modern cars there is an overflow
tank with the ability to recapture lost coolant when the engine cools.  On
the older models with no coolant recovery system, the coolant spews out
through the overflow tube onto the ground.  As a result, any lost coolant is
gone forever which is why it is important on the older cars to check the
radiator's coolant level  (should be just below the fill tube and cover all
cores).

If you feel it is happening too often check the radiator cap.  They are set
to release at a certain pressure but as the years go by they tend to open at
lower pressures.
