Answer

To say you are"on it" means you will take care of a situation. It means you are doing something that needs to be done, or you are trying to solve a problem.
"You need to get your homework done." "Don't worry;I'm on it."

Answer

I think the others have got the meaning, but, personally, I would never use "I'm on it" that way. I'd say it only in the present and without the "so".
She's on it. (she's taking care of it)

Maybe the young use it that way. It has a hint of admiration. (I'm impressed with your capabilities)

Answer

I suppose "be on it" means "be in charge of something". So, "you were so on it" means "you were the one to take care of the car".
