Sounds like you need to disconnect the Radiators' electric fans and have them tested. You absolutely must have them working, or your car will overheat. Check to see if the Temperature guage is working.

You need to go to a good autoparts store and have them test the fans and charge and test your battery. You may need some sensors to activate the Radiator fans, but you could be running the battery down with shorted cooling fans.

There are also Relays which work with the Radiator fans. The overflow will stabilize once the water gets into where it belongs. Make sure your Thermostat is not clogged with the sealer.

Losing coolant

Wait for the cooling system to cool down. Remove the radiator cap, start engine and watch for bubbles in the tank. If you have bubbles the possibilities of a bad head gasket is suspected. To verify a suspected head gasket, leave the radiator cap on and tighten. Start the engine, using a heavy towel or rag loosen the radiator cap SLOWLY. If pressure is evident only after a minute of running.....=Blown head gasket!

02 chevy malibu pushes antifreeze out of resivour but dosent get hot any thoughts?

If it doesn't over heat it's very possible that there is just too much coolant, so if it's leaking from the overflow there is no problem as that's what it's designed to do

Overflowing from expansion tank on a 2003 chevy malibu

Have a cylinder leakage test performed to check your head gasket. It dosn't have to overheat to have a head gasket problem. A leakage test checks if looseing combustion gases to the cooling system which would presurise the system higher than normal which causes the tank to overflow.
