What type of wrench should I use?
BTW, I still get the coolant level light-but not all the time. I think it s electrical. Now going to check the wiring.
Thanks in advance

The wrench is the problem as I stated in my first post on this issue. I cannot find any small open end wrench or plyers to fit so I can tighten the plastic nut. The area is very constricted. Am I missing something here?

Use a pipe thread sealant or teflon tape.
