That is pretty much how mine was designed and made...which is why I was shocked at the gallon I lost in a couple hours of driving. Not sure if I had kept going whether it would have kept puking, I chickened out when I saw the loss, and feared the worst (head gasket of block crack) so I didn't want to hurt the motor until I had a chance to diagnose the issue
