So i took it to an import place and they say it's gonna cost 1k quid to ifx it and basically pull out the tank and ifx it so that the floaty in the tank which is supposedly broken, to be ifxed. Some people though have said to cut the sensor for that if i knew how, then just watch your gauges and fluids a lot like i already to. Another person said that i needed to check the top of the trunk when i pull it up to see if there is moisture where the small cluster is. there was. i wiped it down but it's consistently there. she said if i change the cap on the radiator fluid it'll keep it from over spilling up the top and onto the ceiling of the trunk and that would ifx this. I'm justt lost and confused. anyone pleases help me?

First of all, don't go back to whomever told you that he needs to pull the tank to replace the level float; the level float removes from the bottom of the tank with it in place and does not even require draining the tank. A new level sensor should set you back about $40 at retail.

If you've seen condensation in your boot above the coolant cap area, get a new cap as the old one has lost its seal.
