Default '89 90 quattro warning light/symbol?

I have a warning light/symbol that comes on in my 1989 audi 90 quattro. It seems to come in intermediate air temps and stay off in hot and cold air temps. The car makes its warning beep and then the symbol comes on. The best description I can give without drawing it is that it is orange and looks like a jug with liquid shooting out. I know this sounds ridiculous but I don't have the manual and get outbid on the Bentley manual every friggin time. I have the car apart at the moment to replace the timing belt and some other stuff and was wondering if it could have anything to do with cooling temp sensor or something like that. It could be the windshield washer fluid for all I know.

Thanks

Orange = Not too serious. Jug with liquid "shooting out" may be winshield washer reservoir. = Low on fluid.

Default You may also find an original Owner's Manual to bid on...

that has a good deal of useful information in it. I still refer to mine often, and I found it at a wrecking yard.
