I think part of the problem is an unrepaired cataract in one eye and the other eye had cataract repair by insertion of a "blue blocker" lens. Don't have a problem seeing the orange or green coolant in my other vehicles in dim light.

I'm noticing my engine temperature is running higher than normal. Now it is 105° here, outside temperature. I can't see the level marks in the tank, never have been since I've owned the car. It looks to me as if it could be emptied but I can't see the levels properly. I just shut off my engine picking up my coolant now from my storage and as the car sits it's almost at three clicks to the highest temperature. Of course that's freaking me the hell out.

Sounds like you have a coolant leak, causing your car to run low on coolant, suck in air, and overheat. You’re going to need to fix the leak and then refill and bleed the system.

Edit: I see u edited the original post.. if your car isn’t overheating, you might just be able to add some coolant without rebleedimg the system. Still check for leaks tho

When was the last time you checked the coolant level before this?
