Fill coolant message?

I've read the posts here but, need to confirm:
I ignored the fill coolant fluid message on my '01 9-5 wagon with 132K miles on it for about two weeks.
One night, the red exclamation point comes on, no heat, temp gauge goes nuts.
The gas station attendant says, not empty, but I'll put in 2 qts.
After 4 days, the same warning comes on. I put in another qt., nearly topped off.
The light comes on again in two days.
I take it to my local Saab dealer two days ago. They pressurize the car for 12 hours, check all the cylinders...nothing. They increase the pressure for another 4 hours yesterday AM, nothing appears to be leaking, they also look at the temperature gauge/line -- nothing leaking there. They fill the coolant tank just about full.
This morning, not 24 hours later, the light comes on again, we are down a fair amount of liquid.
Something's obviously wrong.
But, what?
