MORE coolant probs '02 Linear, 51k miles

02 Linear wagon, 4 cylinder, 51k miles.
Drove about 75 highway miles yesterday in pretty hot weather, that evening "low coolant" warning, car running fine, not hotter than mid-way.
Overflow tank nearly empty. Add about 1/2 gallon of coolant/water. Drive another 10 miles, coolant warning again. Add about a quart.
Today -- drive another 30 miles -- coolant warning light comes on (and no overheating) -- this time clearly smell the sickly burnt/sweet smell of antifreeze (in bumper to bumper traffic on the GS Parkway).
Refilled a quart or so 30 miles later.
Can't really tell where the leak is -- with a/c condensate seems wet everywhere -- but seems like its more on the driver side (unless I spilled coolant refilling the tank!).
Thanks for the advice --
Pete
