| Sounds like it should... This is due to expansion from heating of the coolant. Here is a good read. Automobile Engineering Basics:What is a Pressure Cap and Expansion Reservoir in cooling systems? You should be checking the coolant level when the car is hot to ensure that you are not over filling it. |
