Just thinking your coolant overflow tank could be filling your expansion tank since no room for expansion?

Just looked at the expansion tank again after reading about the coolant circuit (didn't realize there was
another tank in the R fender). It's filled right up to the cap, way above the max fill arrow on the side. It also "green stuff," which I'm reading is bad. It's frustrating because the system was flushed, refilled, and pressure tested by a reputable indy Mercedes specialist - you'd think they'd know enough not to overfill the coolant, and to use the appropriate product. What am I risking like this?
