Cooling system symbol showed up this morning...
Is this an issue I can fix myself, or do I need to take it to the dealer? I just had a pretty expensive trip there and would like to avoid another. Im due for an oil change, can they just re-fill the coolant as well? TIA

Well, if the light came on, you most likely have a leak I would think. First place I would check is
the after run coolant pump under the intake manifold...common failure item.

check coolant level, check for leaks, pressure test cooling system, oil analysis
like others have said, common leaks are 2ndary pump (in valley in intake manifold), expansion tank, and heater hoses running from rear of engine up through false firewall.
Its possible you don't have a leak and have just lost some coolant over time. But, unless you're sure of that do what has been suggested above. That and pray you don't have a cracked block <knocks on wood>

I couldn't stop thinking that the picture of the silver car in your sig looked familiar. Then I
realized....I took it.
