Actually I think I mis-spoke about coolant recovery overflow. The theory I believe is that expansion in the radiartor/cooling system overflows into the recovery tank. then, when the cooling system cools off, the liquid contracts and this draws the liquid in the recovery tank back into the system. I am at work now but will verify this on my own 88 tomorrow. Some vehicles have a recovery tank overflow pipe and some do not. The Alfa dos not, I am thinking now, Will verify in the mortning.
