Welcome.
Quick answers:
Yes
Nothing to worry about.
Long answer -
The gauge is fed by a tube that comes from the engine cooling system. This hose can get clogged with salt/grit etc.
To fix, pull the hose off the gauge and run the engine. There should be a flow. If there is a flow and the gauge is not working, the problem is the gauge.
If the hose is clogged, you need to get the salt/grime out.
