If i bring the car to my mechanic can he test the cooling system to be sure it is directly a leak coming from the tank?

How many miles on the car?
Yes, the expansion tank is known to develop a leak.
Yes, the mechanic should be able to answer that question.
Check your over flow tank for sign or yellowing. The black plastic gets hard and yellows a little before it breaks. (apparently).
Good Luck.
