Cooling system question

Hi guys - I have an '02 9-3 SE. I've had some cooling system issues. My mechanic changed my thermostat and said that there was some metal corrosion around the housing. He sealed it up and said that it should be okay, but the previous owner hadn't put the right GM coolant in it, or has mixed Prestone with it. He filled it with Dex Cool. I just had my water pump fail. I had it changed, and the mechanic showed me that there was quite a lot of corrosion in the water inlet housing due to electrolysis. He replaced it, but said that the electrolysis may be a problem in the future.
What is the likelihood of this? How big of a problem might this be? Dex Cool is in it now, and I am going to flush it again in a couple of months. Is there anything else I should do? I've had eight Saabs, and in my '88 900T, I had a head gasket fail due to this problem. Is that possibly in my future again?
Thanks!
