Coolant light on intermittently

Hey guys...maybe you can help a fellow RX out. I have a 94 Touring and last week my oil pressure light began to intermittently light up. Not sure what that was about since the oil pressure read just fine at around 60 - 65. Now, my coolant light is on. I refilled with coolant, but it continues to be on - only now intermittently again. After a ride tonight, my radiator cap was blowing steam out. Not sure what this is all about but it can't be good.

Any ideas? Thanks loads in advance!

could be your coolant seal going out.

do a coolant pressure tester or do the champagne bubble test to confirm.

The light in the oil gauge is not for low oil pressure but low oil level. Check you oil. Steam is coming from the coolant filler cap or the pressure cap on the ast? Either way it sounds like the cap/s needs to be replaced.
