A few concerns:

1. You posted this 4 times. Please be patient, the site can be slow to respond, don't keep reposting. (Duplicates deleted).

2. Your narrative was cut off because you put it in the wrong place. The title line is intended for a short description of your car problem, not all the details of your question. Those details belong in the body of your post. (Available text move into post body, title edited.)

3. Please review the FAQ and search the site. Questions about overheating come up frequently and there is a wealth of information already available here. After looking over that information let us know if there are further questions.

Thank you.

Hey skotty I have a 2010 infiniti g37 with 120kmiles yesterday my car was overheating while on idle but while driving it went away. So today i checked my water serervoir and it was full way past max. Then i opened the radiator cap and it was empty so i poured water in there and turned on my car and sat there for 30min on idleand it didnt over heated no more it didnt even go past the regular heat mark. Then drive it around came back and parked it and sat there for 20min more and nothing all normal. So my question is if the reservoir not good or is it clothed or whats really the problem? Can u give me an answer of what was the problem and what should i do ? Thanks skotty

What leads you to believe the reservoir is no good? Is it leaking? It's more likely you have a bad 13-year-old radiator cap. Or you could have a leak somewhere else, or even a blown head gasket. You can pressure-test the cooling system and/or use UV dye to find leaks, and test the head gasket.
