So im new to the site and not exactly sure if im doing this right, but here goes. i recently got an 89 toyota supra. on the dash my break light is constantly on (which im pretty sure is just a bad sensor for the e brake), and my radiator light seems to go on and off randomly. any ideas as to what might be causing this? another bad sensor or something more serious? i dont know a lot about cars so any ideas would be helpful. thanks.

my overflow tank is at the full line. however, i cant see any fluid in my radiator when i take the cap off. also, the antifreeze looks super dirty. almost like muddy water. think that might have something to do with it?

Keep in mind our cars use Toyota Red coolant!

If you recently got the car, have you done any basic maintenance yet?
