newbie question

That "bird cage" light puzzled me too, but I was told it is the overflow sensor, the little plastic bottle in front of the radiator. When its low and you make a turn, it'll set it off. Top off the bottle to the indicator line and see what happens. If it continues to lose coolant there is a problem somewhere. I saw a thread somewhere in here where this guy had a set-up of a soda bottle to collect coolant coming out of the overflow bottle but I forget exactly what this indicated. Fortunately, my issue was a water pump, not bhg, so I got off cheap. Use the search and u should dig up more.
