Just re-read the first post. Do you fill the overflow to the top? If you don't refill it does it go any lower than the max line?

If you are filling it to the top, the coolant expands when it is heated up and will be spilling out of the overflow cap. Don't fill it any further than the max line and it shouldn't flow out.
