As far as i know, you want it to be at the lower line when cool, and the upper when hot. The only reason the overflow tank fills up is because of overheating, as the controlling valve is the radiator cap, which only opens at above 16psi.
Now that i think about it, check your rad cap as well. If its bad it may open up when it isnt supposed to. Which could cause overheating.

Let me clarify, my "tip top" I did not mean filled past the mark on the tank. I forgot you can't assume anything or people like Jake will be quick to point out your possible fault

I got my rear hitch almost done. On the passenger side I can not for the life of me get the last bolt, furthest from the bumper. How bad is it not to have it?

mava, as long as you keep the overflow bottle tip top the rad will stay full so just keep an eye on that and the pudding stuff is a lovely mix of degraded coolant, impurities cooking out of the water and the degradation of the radiator and all the other dirt that makes its way into the overflow tank and then gets sucked into the system. No worries, its an easy fix with a good flush all that crap will get cleaned out.
