Is there such a thing as too much coolant in the surge tank? Save for the time I had a gasket leak a while back, the coolant level was always about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the tank's center seam. That's well above the cold fill line. I noticed after my service visit two months ago, there was a LOT more coolant in the tank than when I took it in. So much, in fact, that the coolant level is practically covering the entrance to the return line at the top of the tank.
Is this a potential problem waiting to happen? Something tells me I should siphon off the excess to give the coolant more expansion room in the tank.
