low coolant light, but coolant is full

[tommyd369]

Low engine coolant light came on, checked the resevior and i topped if off just a tad, and the light is still on, i went through the procedure to check engine coolant, idel for 10 mins ect.....and its been a couple days now and the light is still on, and coolant is still full and havent been leaking at all, until i was parked on an incline, and when i was backing up i noticed a puddle, i got out and saw that it was the orange dex cool, so im leaking at an incline, but not while im sittting level, whats wrong with my car?? And also when this all started before i saw the leak, why would the light be on when the coolant is full???:duh:

Sometimes the sensor will get all gunked up. Just take the resevior out, spray some water in it and turn it upside down and tap it a few times.
