A servo is a mechanism that reacts when conditions in your transmission tell it to. The O/D light is telling you that the overdrive gear in the transmission is turning off for some reason (it is normally on as a fuel saving function). When it turns off, the O/D light comes on. You should have this looked into but it will not leave you stranded. Go to a place that will give you a free estimate and has a good reputation around your location.
