I was driving and went to park and my coolant light came on so I went and bought some antifreeze and added it. It went close to full so I figure I am good and start driving. The light comes on again maybe 2 minutes later so I pull over and check and this time fill it until its full. So start to drive again it came on again and stayed on. Car isnt overheating or anything. Is the sensor bad or what could it be ? Thanks

Yeah,the sensors commonly go out.It is an F-Body tradition.

As long as you are NOT actually loosing coolant,I wouldn't worry.

You can pull out the sensor and give it a good cleaning or replace with a new one.

Just re-read your post and it does seem as if your losing coolant if I'm reading it right.You mention adding coolant twice I believe.

Check your hoses,coolant cap,...etc for any leaks.
Also check your oil for any coolant contamination and also your coolant for oil contamination.if you have any mixing of the two I might suspect a head gasket failure...but since the car isn't running bad or over heating...that hopefully isn't your problem.

Good luck.

The first time I didnt fill it all the way up. Second time I did fill it all the way up didnt notice any leaks but didnt look to hard hopefully its just the sensor. Thanks

Yea boiling coolant is never fun, it kinda pisses me off because i will drive for good 10-20 minutes and no light and think I am good to go and then bam think again ******* heres the light.

if cleaning the sensor doesnt work try a new radiator cap. happened to me. old cap wasnt holding the correct pressure.
