Fluid light
Hey just got my third gen and had some beginner questions and one problem I'm having.
Fluid warning light was on.(one that looks like a water tap). Which fluids does it represent? oil,coolant,power steering,AC ect?
There is one cap that I didn't recognize right in the center of the hood area near the engine block.Made out of metal and sais do not open when hot! and some french writing? Any idea what thats for?
The problem I'm having is that that above warning light I mentioned was going on. I noticed coolant was low so I added some. Light went away then came back After I shut it on and off. This morning it is off again.
One thing I'm worried is connected to it is that AC stopped working and is making a hissing sound under glove compartment.
Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas on the problem would be useful.
Thanks
Sebastian

oh crap
If it is a leak in the condenser coils should I not drive the car. Cause when the AC broke I drove it to Toronto with no problem. A week later its doing this warning light issue.
This couldn't of happend at a worse time. I'm going back home moday and its a 9 hour drive and shops are closed tommorrow. Could this cause a blown engine ie don't take the chance? or can it wait till I get back home?
Thanks
