Coolant level.  Sometimes an air lock near the sensor.

That's usually a brake caliper carrier bolt.  Do the "roll forward and brake, 
then roll backwards and brake" test.  Hear a loud click from a brake caliper?

Two "good news" stories, I hope.  Both water and bolts are cheap.

(I dread to think what water would cost if it had a nine-digit part number.)
