Sorry to hear about that, Derek.

My car had a low coolant warning, too- apparently without reason. It became
very hot, too, and ultimately boiled over. I initially suspected the temp
sensor in the rad, but after some investigation found out that it was a bad
connection on the fan motor. Repaired that, hey presto!
