What is THE LOW FLUId light that came on in my 98 Pontiac Sunfire?

If you are referring to the icon that looks like a water tank with a down arrow inside of it, that is your radiator reservoir level indicator. The sensor in the tank activates the light when the reservoir is low on coolant.
All you need to do is top it off and the light will disappear. If the light comes back in a short time frame, you could have a few problems that range from minor to major.
Some of the minor problems could be:
- Coolant leak due to worn hoses. This could turn to a major issue if not addressed.
- Pressure cap not holding pressure and leaking coolant.
- Crack in the reservoir.
Some of the major ones could be:
- Sign of water pump failure, trace back to weep hole to see if it's leaking.
- Burning of coolant through the combustion chamber due to blown head gasket or
cracked head. You'll see a lot of white smoke and condensation under the rear of the
car when it's running.
