Like Hum said.
My usual spiel on this:
The coolant reservoir is an expansion tank not a storage container. When hot the coolent expands and gets held in the tank. When the engine cools it get's sucked back into the system. A low expansion tank is NOT an indication of a low cooling system but still should be between the lines when
hot. Don't fill it to the top when cool or it will spill. The tank just makes it easier to add water/coolant and being filled is not a critical aspect of the system.
Back in the day car's just dealt with the expanding coolant by pissing it out on the ground until the level was equalized between hot and cold but for some reason they frown on that now.
