This is what the expansion tank is for. Liquid goes back and forth under pressure to stabilize the coolant capacity in the system. If it is not running hot then let it go.

Why does your 2002 Santa Fe cooling fans run continuously?

Hi You either have an electrical fault in the sensor that tells the fan to turn on and off, or you do not have enough coolant in your radiator for the fan to be able to bring down the engine to a normal temperature. If your temperature gauge is registering normal, and is not in or even close to the red zone, then it is probably the electrical fault, but it won't really harm anything, and it's much better than the fan not coming on at all. You can check your coolant fluid level by checking the expansion tank. This is a smallish plastic or occasionally metal tank of about a quart, and it will be connected by a couple of hoses to your radiator. If this is bone dry, then so, probably, is your radiator. NEVER take the cap off the actual radiator; you fill the expansion tank and keep checking it every few miles to see if the radiator has sucked the fluid in. BUT NEVER take the cap off the expansion tank when the engine is hot. That is a pressurized system, and as soon as the pressure is off, coolant that you can't see can come boiling out of there all over you. And make sure you use a premixed radiator fluid from someone like Prestone, and try not to put anything else in there by mistake, like windshield washer fluid or (god forbid) power steering fluid. It has happened. Phil

Why would antifreeze leak from the radiator cap?

If you have a "Leak" from the cap either the cap needs to be replaced or the top of the Radiator is damaged. It is normal for thermal expansion (water gets bigger when hot) to cause the coolant to go into the expansion tank when cars is hot and to be drawn back into the radiator as the engine cools


Why does glycerin make a bubble last longer?

Glycerin is a viscous liquid that slows down the evaporation of water in the bubble solution. This helps the bubble to maintain its structure for a longer period of time, resulting in a longer-lasting bubble.
