It fixed,kinda,sorta
Well,The water leak was found.the water reservoir broke where the rubber hose goes to the pipe.The water was spurting on to my headers and drying.Thats why I couldn't find any water under my car.A new water reservoir was installed and no more leak.BUT now the low coolant is displayed.When I cancel it,it comes back.Any suggestions?this is bugging me to no end.The car is a 99Vette.Everything is connected correctly.Is there a different sensor for the different years/Visually,the reserviors appear to be identical.Are the sensors different.Any help would be appreciated.

Upside down sensor
Rod,
I had the same problem when I took out my reservoir. It turned out the when I put the sensor back in, I put it in upside down. Just turn it 180 degrees and I’ll bet that will do it. Glad you found the leak.
Good Luck,

Its full!
I checked it last night and again this morning,its full.I think the sensor might be the wrong one for my car.I looked it up at G.M. Parts and different years take different parts.The parts look identical,but the sensors are different.
