If the cooling system was recently filled up to the top of the radiator 
neck, this is quite normal. Air in the cooling system will expand and 
push out the coolant, also the coolant itself will expand a bit. Perhaps 
there was some local boiling after switching off which will also push 
out some coolant. In a more modern system this overflowed coolant will 
end up in the overflow tank, but when the system cools down the coolant 
will be sucked back into the radiator providing the hose from the 
radiator to the overflow tank ends up near the bottom and the radiator 
cap is absolutely airtight. So fit the overflow tank and there will be 
no more loss of coolant.

If you have a thermoswitch controlled electric fan fitted run it 
straight from the battery so it will continue to work after switching 
off. However operate the manual override switch from the accessories 
terminal so the fan will not keep running if you accidentally did not 
switch off the fan manually.
