Is the coolant disappearing? Any issues with misfire?

If its a Shitstar, I mean Northstar engine, they are very KNOWN for head gaskets.

You should probably stop driving it until its fixed.

If your handy with tools, that'* probably the best way to do it. Drop another one in, and in your spare time, rebuild the other one and either keep it or sell it. Win-Win.
