Add Coolant light/alarm.

Hey, I just bought a '90 GXL, and yesterday the add coolant light came on after driving on the freeway for a while. At first it was intermitent, but then it was constant until I slowed down and got off of the freeway. Now, after I've driven the car semi-hard for a while the light comes on until I let off the car. I'm confused and kind of worried about it, so are there any ideas? Thanks much, I appreciate all of your help.

coolant might be seeping out of the radiator fins. my friend's 89 GTU has that problem and the buzzer comes on almost everytime he makes a tight turn.
