The reservoir is simply connected to the cooling system by a hose. If the hose is plugged up or damaged it needs to be replaced.

Test the radiator cap if it is malfunctioning the radiator fluid will blow out overfill the catch can and disappear onto the road. That causes a low coolant level and overheating of the engine.
