1st step is to have your thermostat checked or replaced and make sure there aren't any leaks. The 3.1L engine is apparently famous for intake manifold leaks. If you have any oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil try to get this fixed ASAP. A new manifold gasket shouldn't cost too much and will prevent your engine from being trashed. One way to tell if there is coolant in your oil is to look for some beige colored gunk on your oil fill cap.

That's just my experience.
