Coolant Leaking after car is turned off!

My Radiator was slightly damaged and i fixed it with Radiator Cement. The car first leaked from a hose and i fixed it! Now the car doesn't leak at all when the car is running but when i turn it off i notice the buttom of the radiator gaining Antifreeze until it fills up and overflows! Anyone know what's going on? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

???? It seems to me ur talking about seeing the coolant reservoir filling up and then overflowing..... Youve gotta bleed the cooling system after any type of repair has been done. Get a spill free funnell, put coolant in it, and run your car till the fans kick on(with a/c off ofcouse). Thattl tell u your t-stat has opened, and coolant is circulating. Keep us posted
