Thats the right level
Yep, what he said!

Once the cap is secured, it’ll allow coolant to pass through to the overflow reservoir through that hole you can see

i had my brother jack the car up n noticed there was coolant sprayed on the inside of the drivers side wheel, so he took the bottom guard thing of and all the coolant was laying there (in the picture) so we took the coolant bottle iut thinking it had a crack in it but there was nothing but we could see it coming out of this flap/clip thing ? is that normal ? dose that mean ive over filled it nd its pushing it out cos there is to much coolant ?

its low but you can still see the coolant if it was leaking you would see it under the car somewhere and what is the water level reading on the reservoir dipstick
