Our 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette was doing the same thing plus we'd get low coolant indicators every 3 or 4 weeks. I went nuts almost trying to find the leaking coolant. It turned out that it was misting it's way out of the intake manifold gasket located on the top of the engine on the drivers side. You might see a small puddle of coolant on top of the block. Apparently it's a common issue with those engines.
