    anyone else have this happen?

    It doesnt happen everytime but sometimes when I start my 348 it drains coolant out of the overflow. and not alot, just maybe a 8-10 inch puddle.

    Do you top it off frequently?

    no, I probably should.

    I drive the car maybe once or twice a week and this happens once a month.

    A few years ago, after I returned home from my drives I used to have coolant dribble out of the overflow bottle/hose onto the ground. :):)

    I checked and found a faulty radiator cap. Got a new from Ricambi and its been perfect ever since. :):)

    Inspect the radiator cap mate and see what you think. :):)
