Coolant not flowing into the reservoir could be due to a clogged hose or radiator cap issue. First, check for blockages in the hoses. Make sure they’re not kinked or obstructed. Next, inspect the radiator cap; a faulty one can cause improper pressure. Replace it if necessary. Lastly, ensure the coolant level is sufficient; low levels won't properly circulate. Address these issues for proper flow and cooling system efficiency.
