Have you got red or green/blue coolant? Red coolant can do this as it coats the screw with a protective layer.

When was coolant last changed? A really weak mix can cause problems.

Are you experiencing any charging issues (battery & sediment lights glowing on the instrument panel?). The alarm is very voltage sensitive so a fault with the alternator can cause erroneous readings.
