Had coolant TSB done now antifreeze sprays (Help!)

Had coolant TSB done now antifreeze sprays on the driver side of the engine and under hood. It has not cooled down enough to make sure the cap is not boogered up but that has to be where its coming from. I can see the cap is turned all the way as the metal tongs are against the plastic stops on the top of the tank. It appears they put too much coolant as it way above the max. Since this sytem does not vent, would it spray / leak out of the cap if its over filled? I hate to bring it back to the delaership - I was planing on putting my 180 thermostat tomorow morniing. If this is normal for overfilling, I can just not add back the coolant after the change.

Any help appreciated.

Thre is a weep hole on the coolant bottle that points to where you are describing seeing the spray. It's small, but it is there.

OK I put my 180 T stat in this AM and afterward I remove the cap. WHat I found is that the black plastic neck had most of one of the ears broken off. Nice! I toik it to the dealer and they said they could do it now. Well I left her there - I hope they don't screw it up worse. Bad news - I left the diablo tune and fans settings for the 180 in it (didnt think id be having done then ). Hopefully they wont notice and just replace the tank as they should.
