Subject:Cooling question

I have an 89 Carat and a cooling question...
It seems to run a bit on the hot side lately - almost in the hot zone.
Yesterday I was driving it and the water flasher light started blinking
indicating that the pressured reservoir was low. I stopped to check the
non-pressured reservoir (under the Lic. plate) and noted it was full and the
coolant in there was cold but indeed the pressured reservoir was low? What I
am wondering is why the pressured reservoir is not sucking the fluid out of
the non-pressured reservoir? I have replaced the radiator pressured reservoir
cap with two different new units thinking this was the problem - but the
system still does not sucking the antifreeze/water from the non-pressured
reservoir to fill the system as needed. 
Any Ideas what is happening?
