Welcome to the CEG! laugh

Your light will stay on until the coolant gets hot and expands in the overflow container and becomes high enough for the coolant to cover the sensor that is causing your warning light to come on!

As you said yourself, you have a coolant leak and until you get that fixed, your warning light will keep coming on when your coolant drops below the sensor in the overflow container!

Fix the leak and maintain the coolant level just above the MAX of the overflow container.
