i've had my check engine light running for about the past 4 years. the dealership told me it was computer error. after the alternator was replaced, the check engine light was off for less than 4 hours, literally.
Do some searching and reading.
The CEL (check engine light) is there for a reason.
Have the codes read (Autozone is free) and write down the exact codes. Post them here. They will point to the problems.
The coolant reservoir is an expansion tank only, do not confuse it with an overflow bottle.
Not knowing your abilities, I cannot tell you what to do. But plenty of info and directions are here.
