Uh oh... coolant spillage out the overflow tank

I hope this is something minor. I just removed and replaced the UIM/TB. I took it off to chase down a loose connection to my AIS.

Now, after I put everything back together, I am seeing coolant **** out the over flow tank after I ran the car a while. I'm hoping that this is somewhat normal... I did have the TB coolant line disconnected while I was removing the UIM/TB. Air must have gotten into the system.

Can someone confirm this for me. Do I just have to burp the system?

might have been an airbubble that escaped pushing coolant out with it. i wouldnt worry about it unless it keeps doing it.. But definetly burp the system and make sure coolant is topped of.

That is not a problem, did you run the car when filling the radiator, becuase that helps get the bubbles out. OK

Could also be a leaky pressure cap, if it still happens once you've bled all the air out.

Yup, I need to burp the sucker. The motor only has 8k miles on it.
