Coolant wont flow back out of overflow bottle
I'm having the a similar issue (1987 non-turbo). I just replaced the water pump and thermostat, and have driven it about 500 miles since (Two fill-ups).
Yesterday, the Add Coolant light comes on just as I get home.
This morning, the reservoir is completely full. What's weird, though, is that my upper radiator hose was still collapsed flat. (Returned to normal after opening the cap) If there was a leak somewhere, shouldn't have returned to normal overnight?

at least that is your problem, almost everyone else in this thread has a bad motor.

Ah, ok, thanks. Yeah, I put in some stop leak metal sealer when it started leaking (which turned out not to be a leak, but water pump failure). Guess there's some residual crap in there that I need to flush out.
