Very often the cause of coolant being expelled from the reservoir is due to a faulty head gasket leaking compression air into the water jackets. When the engine stops circulating the coolant, with the water pump, the bubbles collect together in the radiator as they rise to the top. Then the hot compressed air passes through the pressure relief valve (often radiator cap) and enters the reservoir, thereby blowing coolant out of the overflow tube.

the VW beetle has a plastic radiator, where the cap is if you look to the front of that it does a 90, it is cracked there. Here is the fun part, with a throx wrench ( I think it was a T-30) take apart the fenders and front bumper. At the auto parts store there is a plastic tank repair kit, the kit includes resign,fiber glass cloth, and a stick. You will need to rough up the crack as it is right where it angles and lay on the cloth and resign. Let it dry and it will not leak from there again. Good Luck Tim

SOURCE: I have a leak near the driver side, coolant leaks out . could it be the waterpump?
Yes that would likely be the water pump, when you do the water pump you will need to replace the valve timing belt as well, Please watch the video for detailed help with the whole job. From a YouTube Video.
