    What is your reference level for the coolant fluid?

    The coolant fluid container is marked F and L

    If your reference is above F then its normal because F should be maximum level of the fluid. As in the proper level should be F and below for the coolant fluid, while F and above should be air

    Why that should be the case? Build up in heat result in greater pressure which push that fluid level above the F mark. If you filled the the coolant container up to the brim, then that will be indeed the case, there will always be reduction in fluid level, as long as its not below L mark, then the coolant level should be ok

    If you carefully inspect the coolant container, there is an overspill hole on top. That takes care of excess fluid upon pressure build up, it discharge excess coolant fluid due to pressure expansion

    The best practice in filling up coolant is up to F mark level only
