Looking for the white plastic overflow tank that sits next to the radiator in a 1970 Olds 98.

Get a generic one at a parts store. Oldsmobile didn't put these on cars until 1971, and even then they were optional on all except Toronado, which included it as standard equipment.

If the radiator is puking out coolant, make sure it's at the correct level for a non-closed cooling system. There should be a mark on the radiator tank "FILL COLD" or similar. If you fill it above that level, it is going to puke coolant out the overflow tube after the car is hot and coolant expands.

 

X2 with what rocketraider said. Generic overflow bottles are relatively cheap and incredibly easy to install. + if it needs to be replaced, like i said they're cheap and plentiful at just about any auto store.

 

Thanks, guys, for your advice!

No problems with my radiator puking.

I saw on YouTube a '70 98 engine bay and it had an overflow tank, so thought mine was missing something.

Now I feel better. Thanks, again.
