If you can see no external leak, then suspect an internal leak as in a Blown Head Gasket. This is very serious and severe engine damage will occur if you continue to drive the car. Get this repaired ASAP, and stop driving the car.

You do not let us know if you see coolant on the ground or on the engine. It's hard to diagnose with out a little more info.

Can a coolant leak in a 2002 Bonneville be fixed?

In general, yes a coolant leak in a 2002 Bonneville can be fixed. The issue whether it is worth the money to fix the leak. If the coolant is leaking from an upper or lower coolant hose, the repair is simple and inexpensive. If the coolant leak is from the radiator, it will be a bit more difficult and/or expensive to repair. Moving up the scale, if the coolant leak is coming from a manifold gasket, it will be still more expensive. Likewise for a coolant leak from the heater core. And at the upper end of the scale, if you are leaking coolant from a cracked engine block, you're looking at replacing the engine.
