My 1997 Cadillac Catera does the samething! Normally can be done by the Coolant leaking ,Coolant needing to be flushed, a PCV Valve, Coolant Temperature Sensor, Themostat Sticking, oil cooler, and the list goes on. . You should most likely have a "Experienced" Mechanic look at the vehicle to do a pressure test to make sure you dont have any leaks and to see what is actually wrong.
