Twice after leaving my Sportage overnight to cool down, the coolant level on my reservoir gets higher. When i checked the radiator, the coolant level is low I had to add up about the same amount of coolant that went to the reservoir. No visible leaks in the cooling system. Just seems that the radiator is not getting back any coolant from the reservoir. Do you have any idea what's happening? Thanks...

Replace your radiator cap. You may also have a very small leak that will not allow the system to build vacuum when it cools down. This is what pulls the coolant back into the radiator.

Usually when you start your car the next day or whenever it will flow back into the radiator when it is cold.
