Actually, the sensor is two little wires sticking into the coolant.  It
measures level by allowing the coolant to short these two wires out.  The
wrong mixture (usually too much antifreeze) will not pass enough current,
and this will be seen as a low-level indication, blinking the LED.  So it
is a "magical glycol sniffer" in an odd sense.
