Could be over full, could have a blown head gasket but that usually happens when its on boost & gets hot & over pressurises the radiator.

well if its your top tank, its leaking or need new rad cap
if its the side tanks on the rad, then they are cracked
if its the over flow, say hello to a new head gasket like me

Top tank. But coolant is fine. Only needs top up with distilled water when I open the cap and it's a minimal top up at that. I use redline waterwetter (?) would this have anything to do with buildup of pressure?

My overflow bottle looks kinda dry.
