Most likely DexCool corrosion worries if the coolant gets too low. Has a tendancy to gum up into a "muddy" mess if it gets too low and not topped off in due time.

i noticed it was a bit low the other day, not much however. If it gums up, warranty takes over. Its coverd head to toe for 3 years or 60,000 kms.

Isn't there another clause in there for "whichever occurs first"?? Typically there is on a GM warranty (might want to reread the fine print). And with most people'* luck, it will expire just before you need it! Keep a close eye on that DexCool.
