Any excess coolant should return to the radiator via the overflow hose.
How full is your expansion tank normally? I have a mark halfway up the wall of the tank. I rarely need to top it up but when I do I never fill past that mark.

The cap is the original 1992 as far as I know, I was wondering if it could be suspect.
I cleaned out some sludge from the tank and looked at the 2 poppet valves in the cap; were a bit brown with rusty water but seemed to work.
Are they prone to fail?
I keep the level at the max mark or just below.
thanks for reply Ken
