Default What indicator light is this?

I have a nice new light on my dash warning me about something. It looks like a jug half filled with water. Is it a water pump light? It's on the right side of my 95 turbo eclipse dash.

Man, I really hope I don't have to replace my water pump.

thanks in advance.

Its not a water pump light.
Its either a low coolant, indicating you have a coolant leak or coolant is evaporating.
or its a low was light, meaning your washer wiper fluid is low.

Josh is right, it's an obvious fluid light. I'm not trying to be a ***** but wouldn't the next common sense thing to do is check all your fluid levels?

Thx Josh/Silver. I checked the coolant and it's fine. It must be the windshield washer fluid coz I've been using it alot lately. Thing is I thought that light looked different. Let me refill it.

Thanks again.

funny (offtopic) story in 2003 Homer Simpson's word "dohe" or however the hell it's spelled was entered into the Dictionary.

Can this be a transmission fluid warning?

I filled my coolant, window washer fluid, power steering fluid, checked clutch and brake and oil. Would check trans but that requires I get under the car and right now I can't do that.

Or could this issue be an electrical prob and the light won't go off?

Thanks

Do you have a manual for the car, it should tell you what the warning lights are. Or at least give us a picture of it.
