Question Coolant level

I replaced the coolant (Prestone 50/50).
I notice that the coolant is expelled (overfill pipe drips) until the level is below the MIN (coolant tank mark when cold engine).
I refilled the coolant several times.
Despite that, the coolant system works fine: fan runs, temperature is OK.
Do you have any explanation on this behavior ?

Mine is the same. Normal when cold is well below the minimum mark. Maybe the marks are meant to be for a fully warmed up system?

It's not a problem, provided that you have no leaks. The system will find it's own level.

Do you think the above mentioned coolant could solve the issue?
