warning light?

hey, sorry to bother you guys with this, but I'm starting to get worried. Aaaaaaall the way to the left of the gauge cluster, there is an orange icon, I can only describe as a birdcage. it used to flash for a second when I got hot into a corner, then go off when I got back straight. It stays on all the time now, and I really have no idea what it means...

Birdcage= Low Coolant Level. The pic is supposed to look like a radiator. The sensor for it is in the bottom of the overflow reservoir, so make sure you add coolant there too when you check your coolant levels.

thanks man, that has been bothering the hell out of me. I check my radiator pretty often, but usually overlook the overflow bottle.
