where does the coolant go after it goes in the overflow ? my overflow is just about full now from coolant goinginto it after everytime i shut the car off

Do you have an aftermarket thermostat in it? I had the same problem with too much coolant going into my overflow. put a mazda thermostat in it problem went away. just a thought
