You might have two hoses coming from the coolant reservoir:

1) Reservoir to radiator
2) Reservoir to nowhere (overflow line).

Thanks Doc,
One more question. I know its the overflow hose now, how much should be
coming out, if any? And would me parking on a hill(backing in on a
driveway so that the front is down) effect it at all?

Not a big job at all. Should take you no more than 2 hours. Make sure you
have a spanner wrench to get the fan+clutch off the pump shaft before you
start ripping into sh.t.
