134609, dumb question about overflow tank, is there a pick up tube inside?

I am wondering how the overflow tank works with no pick up tube, well mine has no tube inside. It just sits half an inch from the top of the cap down.

Yes, Indeed there is, it sits an inch above the bottom of the tank, when installed & cap is closed.

Goto auto store, get hose, no clamps needed. Its a pre-bent hose, 5-10$. Get it, get it in.

Thats the one my friend. Should be very straightforward.

I would get this ASAP because you car could over heat from not having sufficient coolant.
