Default o noooo...low antifreeze light?

Alright so i was warming my car up tonight and when I got into it to drive home I noticed a light on inside. It's the light all the way to the right. It looks like a fan inside a jar. I remember there being another post about this but I couldnt find it through the search. Is this just low antifreeze? I'm hoping its nothing major.

O BTW the car is a 99 mustang.

Yes, it's the low coolant light.

Mine comes on when it gets cold outside, always stays on for a couple minutes, then stays off the rest of the time I'm driving. I've checked several times and it's never low. Yours is probably doing the same thing mine is, I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts running hot.

phew...it wasnt over heating when I was driving home so that was a plus. when I started it this morning the light was off. I changed the oil today and when I checked it was fairly low but not enough to trigger the sensor.

I honestly think I have a leak somewhere which I have to find. It gets low sometimes and i have to keep putting more antifreeze in.
