I have a 1992 Toyota Camry. I don't believe that the radiator itself has a leak. I had my radiator checked for leaks about a year ago and the mechanic couldn't find a single leak.

However, after driving my car 25 miles or so the radiator fluids expand, go through the hoses to the radiator reservoir tank where instead of flowing into the tank, the fluid flows right over the top of the reservoir and onto the ground. The amount of fluid expansion seems rather excessive as well. I don't think there should be that much fluid expansion because of the heat. Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong with my car? Thanks.

Hi there,

Check the thermostat, check that the radiator is not part blocked check pressure cap, start here.
