This is likely an FAQ...I'm on the road and searching is awkward with cell phone. It seems when I drive for an hour or so at highway speed, and stop abruptly (to get gas for example) coolant rushes from the left tank into the overflow one on the right, sometimes overflowing that one onto the ground. In one instance the dash light began to flicker and when I pulled over, the right hand tank was full, and the left one was down 1/2 litre or so. It's not overheating, but temperature rises at idle after a highway run. 2.1 litre, recent (last 6 months) new rad, water pump. There are no evident leaks, and oil on dipstick looks clean. Any suggestions on what to check? The needle is generally parked right at the center of the LED... Thanks Tom
