Get the codes read to see if any sensors are unhappy
the resivoir filling up could be the expansion of the coolant or the head gasket could be failing blowing the fluid out of the water jacket

While there are a variety of reasons your Toyota Yaris is overheating, the most common 3 are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), the radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.
Check coolant leakage, radiator fan operation, radiator for clogged and water pump.
Re-torque the cylinder head bolts to the specifications and / or replace the cylinder head gasket.
Make sure the radiator is full when the engine is cold.Also check the over flow bottle to be sure it is full to the specified line.If they are both OK then the water temp. sensor may be defective.
Stand in front of the car, facing it, hood open of course, front center of engine compartment is the radiator, the reservoir is on the left side, top of radiator, just to the left of the center of the car. If u can't find it I can give u a site to check out w/ diagrams (I'm not too computer smart, can't figure out how to copy/paste pics to u)
