Default Cooling system and ABS questions.

There is a leak somewhere in the system, so, of course, the Low Coolant light comes on. Anyway, the last time, I added some more coolant to radiator (it was a little low), I noticed that the coolant level in the reservoir was almost to the top. Aside from supposed leak, was the reservoir coolant level near the the top because the radiator cap is not adequately holding the pressure?

Also, everytime, as soon as I backup down the driveway, I'll feel a pulse from the brake pedal and the ABS INOP light will come on. I can hear some clanking and such from the passenger rear side, too. Bad sensor? ABS going out?

idk about the cooling thing but on da ABS it could be a bad sensor but if ur abs would be going u wouldnt feel anything on ur pedal so it might something else but they might be a sensor going out since ur light turns on.

As for the low coolant lamp, mine turns on but there is no leaks, so the sensor itself is bad. I was going to replace it but did'nt seem worth it cause it costs around 100 bucks. I just check the coolant level once a month. What I did was unplug it and now the lamp is off. And for the ABS lamp, there is probably something obstructing the sensor and making a noise at the same time. tear down the brake and check it out.
