Toyota Celica TA22

Hi, The top hose on the radiator empties when not in use and fills up again when the engine has been running for a few minutes. The car has been off the road since 1991 and I am trying to get it roadworthy.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

Fill right up to the neck when cold, and make sure the expansion tank is half full, run it and see if the level rises in the expansion tank.Check again when fully cold, the rad should be full to the top, sounds like a simple just needing topped up.
