Ok so i am not very gppd with cars and i accidentally added coolant into the reservoir tank instead of the radiator. I didnt see the max line and i filled it all the way to the top. I drove on it for a day or 2 before i notices it was leaking coolant. I took a turkey baster an got the coolant back down where its supposed to be in the reservoir. I read online that this isnt a very serious issue. I just want to know how long it takes before the leaking should stop. Because it has been leaking for the past 2 days. Its a very slow drip but when you drive it and then turn the car off. Coolant just leaks out as a steady stream for about 15 seconds then just goes back to tw drips.
