Description of the problem	My car is sporadically spewing anti-freeze from the overflow tank. I have taken it to 3 local mechanics and 1 ford dealership and no one has been able to find a reason for this. I have noticed this occurs if i am driving around for a long time with the a/c off. The leaking is coming from my coolant overflow tank's air ventilation. Anti-freeze does not leak out whilst driving the vehicle, but only when i park and shut it off. The mechanics have done several pressure tests which all came back normal. December 2019 my coolant light came on for the first time since owning the car for 2 years and i was needing to put a small amount of anti-freeze in every month. Since july 2020 it has been overflowing and leaking every week it seems. I would average i go through 2-3 cups of anti-freeze every 1-2 weeks. When parking and turning off the car the overflow tank has anti-freeze filled to the top, but not quite coming out of the cap. I am attaching some images of my overflow tank.
