Angry Know where to find my radiator fluid level sensor?

Just hopped on Ondemand5's systems and they don't have a component locator for my '98 LS-1 T/A. I'm gettin a low coolant light, but my system's full and works perfectly. Last time it came on was when my water pump was puking red a month ago and had to be replaced, and then it only came on when the darned thing was half-full. I open the cap, she's got water standing on top no matter what temp, and the catch tank's full. Pretty sure now it's a sensor and I just want to know where the danged thing is so I can rip it out and turn that light off. Makes me feel like a chump when people say "nice car, can I go for a ride?" and I have a stupid light come on five minutes later.
Oh yeah, she's got 79K on the clock and runs like a swiss watch... a 13.5 second swiss watch...
-Thanks in advance

below the radiator cap; sometimes you can clean out the sensor to fix it. if that doesnt work then go ahead and replace it.
