Default Coolant

Does anyone else's FRST do this?!

When the engine is running coolant level is MAX or just over, but after you switch off it ALL drains out of the header tank.
Turn it on again and it back fills from the bottom again!

Should I be filling it after its drained back in, but then when engine is running its going to be well over MAX?

bit confused
