Yeh the original coolant bottles have a level sensor to tell you to top it up! Handily it flashes on the temp gauge scaring the bejesus outta you!

replace the plastic flanges on the front & right side of the block, and take a close look at the radiator.  Helps if you take off the grill & rad fan shroud.
