Full reservoir empty rad over heats 3-4 weeks after coolant top uo
I have a 2003 LX my car was over heating one day kinda fluctuating I topped up the coolant and since then after 3-4 weeks it starts over heating and fluctuating. There’s no coolant in the oil and exhaust doesn't smell like coolant and makes me believe there it isn’t the head gasket. What I’ve realized is that after the car gets warm and cools down the reservoir/ over flow tank is full but the rad is super low the upper hose to the thermostat is hot and bottom one is cold. I checked the hose from rad
to reservoir and there’s no holes so I’m kinda at a loss for what it could be. Help would be appreciated
