To Much Coolant In Resevoir, How to Drain.

Car recently was hit in the front end..the sensor on the radiator blew off losing all the fluid. Got it to the dealership..where the moron toped off my resevoir. didnt realize till i got home and dex-cool was all over my engine. i opened the resevoir cap and its up to the top. is there a drain in that anywhere..or do i just have to figure out a way to suck it out.

Easiest way I can think of is to use a turkey baster.

I used a hose to siphon when I did the coolant change.

Something along the lines of a turkey baster works very well, as stated before.

Black and Decker "jackrabbitt" pump. It's a hand crank pump that has a million uses in the garage.
