'Check engine' light on- no owner's manual. Need I worry? V70-XC70 1998

Sometimes it can be as simple as the gas cap not being tight enough. Once it is tightened it takes something like 3 hot/cold engine cycles and the light will turn off by itself, usually about 3 days.

Normally the light has something to do with emission controls so there is time. My local dealer wants $75 a pop to turn it off so you can imagine the potential embarrassment of paying $75 each time the gas cap isn't tight enough.
