Dumbest question ever on this board (warning light light up)

[BGRIPTP]

Ok, I wasnt sure if this should go here, or the newb forum, but here's what happened, I was driving my car about 4 hours last night, I parked it like normal, came back in the morning to move it so my dad can get out, and this yellow/orange light on the right side of the cluster comes on and wont go off, I lost my car booklet, and never brought a new one (looking for one today on ebay) the light looks something like this:

Ill get a picutre if you want a better one of what it looks like, but I have no clue what it means as this is my first car, and ive only had it for like 2 months. Is it also safe to drive to work and stuff? Thanks

That picture doesn't look familiar... but I believe the rear washer reservoir light as well as the radiator overflow sensor light are both on the right, and are orange. Check those two to see if they're low.

And yea, I guess that was a pretty dumb question, now that I look iat it its like duhhhhh

How much do you think a new ones going to cost?

If the pulley is hitting the tank like that I think the pulley should be your first concern. The tank is cheap and can probably be found at any junkyard for 5 bucks. Theres always tons of wrecked NT eclipses at the yards when I go.

Just clean it up, and put some epoxy over the hole. Will cost less and should work just fine.
