Sounds like air in system bleed like this. Remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let vehicle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.
