Default Radiator not venting to reservoir

Hello after a long trip i was checking the fluids of rx 330 I notised that the white plastic container for the coolant is low on coolant then i did a mouth pressure test at the radiator of courese cleanly and after removing the cap and the container cover not possible to blow through. I know this has to be open. I checked that before and it was open. Any suggestions please. Thank you
There was no overheating at all

Care to share what the "problem" was.

Part of the value of this place is to leave feedback and input for others. A simple problem solved helps no one if they are to ever encounter this issue.

Not trying to be rude, just stating that feedback and follow up should always be left.
