First off the "reserve tank" on top of the engine is the main reservoir, the plastic one is an over flow.

Depending on the levels in both, you may have overfilled, so some might come out of the main cap.

secondly, does the one on top of the engine still have the original metal pressure cap? If so, remove it and check the seat.
If it's damaged, or tired looking, try a new cap.

Lastly, if problems persist, get a garage to do a sniff test to check for headgasket failure, it might be over-pressurising the system.
