From your description of the over filled coolant reservoir bottle; I would first suggest that you open the radiator cap and check the level in the radiator.
If the radiator is low, there Could be a radiator cap problem or an engine overheating problem.
If you need to add coolant to the radiator be sure to burp the system [engine off]by filling the radiator and then open the 12mm bleed screw at the T-stat housing to get out any trapped air.
If there is no overheating, the radiator cap not allowing coolant to flow backwill be the most likely problem.

Leaks in that area are usually the radiator top cap seam.

good luck
