idiot light and buzzer question

so i've had my fc for a week now. last week the oil level light went off with it's buzzer and i checked the oil and it was low, filled it and the light went off. this week the coolant light/buzzer have been going off on cold start and goes away once engine is hot. checked level of coolant and it was full while cold. no sweet smoke coming out the exaughst. do i just have a bad connection somewhere? bad sensor maybe? anyone had this problem?
Thanks

Did you check at the overflow bottle or the radiator? The warning light indicates low coolant in the radiator, so make sure you check there too. Make sure any air is bled out of the system.

Yeah I had the same problem when I first bought my FC. Turned out there was a lot of air in the system, after I bled it out, no worries ever again..

(oh.. well until the mysterious coolant eating fairy came to visit again.. but that was a different problem...)

yeah probably bubbles still in the system.

Run the car with the heater on and then let it cool.
Then take the top cap off and check it out.

I've never heard of that method before. Not trying to say it's not true or anything.
