I have experienced it before and it could be two things. One your new coolant level sender could be defective too. The second is that you may have very small cracks around the hole where the level sender screws in. These will allow coolant to come out at the highest pressure (when you are doing highway driving) but not normally. The coolant rises up high enough to get in the sender and then must dissipate somehow. I fixed this once by using teflon tape and silicon on the sender and then installing it. It fixed the problem but you really should get a new tank if this is the case. Also inspect the new tank closely as I have heard of folks getting new tanks with the same problem.
