Viggen w/ low coolant SID and pressure in tank

My '99 Viggen (101K miles) has had the low coolant SID message come on a couple of times lately, always when starting the car after it's sat for several hours. The expansion tank is indeed low. When I open the cap, coolant comes back into the tank right up to the cold line and I don't need to add any extra fluid.
I can't find any drips or leaks anywhere in the engine compartment or under the car. The oil is a normal color and isn't foamy as if coolant were getting into the oil from a leaky head gasket.
I have recently (in the last month) had a thermostat replaced and also had the o-rings leading to the heater core replaced. The engine temp gauge comes up to normal temp, and the heater blows hot.
Any thoughts?
