I need to add coolant
The cover on most tanks have symbols
I assume you wouldn't reach down to get at
the power steering & would smell that fluid
You surely have filled the windshield container,
with blue fluid in most case
So that leaves the sometimes discolored &
steamy coolant tank
No fluids are consumed or need topping off,
you know that? Not on any vehicle,never have
Just a gimmick to get you into a repair shop
If you have to add you have a leak to repair
Front & Side fender well--should have a hose from
radiator & one going to engine somewhere
Look There

if the coolant light is on or comes on when driving you MUST let the car cool down at lest 1 hour before doing anything, after this cool down time lift the hood [u.s.a.] or bonnet [uk] looking from the front of the car on the right hand side towards the back of the engine compartment is the coolant header tank,about 5inch square black in color [u.s.a.] colour [uk] with a large screw top and some rubber pipes coming from it,this should be topped up with coolant right to the neck of the screw cap when you remove the cap to top up the coolant unscrew it slowly as it may be under pressure you don't want hot 212F[u.s.a.] 100C [uk] coolant in your face do you.good luck.

I had this exact same problem and the cable was broken. There is a way to get it open by going through the wheel well. Let me know if this is still an issue for you and I can walk you through it. Thanks!
