    The coolant level sensor probably has issues, its common.

    I feel dumb for asking but where is that located? Can it be replaced or repaired?

    Its on the driver side end of the radiator. You can get to it by either pulling the battery or headlight, I forget which though. Its held in with a wire clip then pulls right out.

    ***UPDATE*** Thanks to all of you, i think i managed to fix the tiny issue. I took the censor out and out came the coolant so being a beginner with cars, i didnt really think that'd happen lol. But i took the censor out, cleaned it a bit and scratched off a little bit of gunk, plugged everything back, put new coolant in, started the car and the coolant light was off. It did come on for like half a second but then came back off. So i think i succeeded
