It isn"t just normal "addition and subtraction" of coolant to and from the recovery tank as the engine warms up and cools off, is it?
When the engine warms up, coolant expands to a significant degree and overflow bypasses the radiator cap to enter the recovery tank. Then, when the engine cools off, the coolant shrinks and is drawn back out of the tank.
On a vehicle with a flat recovery tank, this might be hardly noticeable, whereas with a tall, narrow tank (as in my wife"s Chrysler T&C) the level in the recovery tank can vary by a couple of inches as the engine warms and cools.
If it"s normal, the level in the recovery tank will be at its highest about fifteen minutes after a warmed engine is shut off, and at its lowest after the vehicle has sat overnight and is completely cooled off.
