    i dont think this is a problem i just wanted to make sure.i just topped the water in my 348 ts up with a cold engine.i started the car on the drive and as it warmed up i noticed a stream of water running down my drive.i quickly turned the engine of and checked where it was coming from and it was pouring out of the exspansion tank overflow pipe.could this be that i just put to much water in the car when it was cold? i havnt noticed any temperature problems while driving.
    thank you

    Hi had the same problem with my 348...
    You just have to fill the water until 6 cm to the top of tehe expension tank.

    I had also to replace the expension tank cap because of a leaking seal.

    Be sure than the seal is in good shape, it's important, othewise, you tank couldn't keep the pressure...
