Our cars are notorious for developing a very slow leak on the passenger side of stock radiators, between the radiator core and the radiator end cap down low on that side.
It’s hard to see, and hard to diagnose, since it it’s a very slow leak and the leak mostly drips down onto the cross-member directly under the radiator, burns off, and never makes it to the garage floor.
Until I fixed that, my car had the same mysterious symptoms of a low coolant light every month or so, and some mild overheating when coming off of a long freeway run and getting back into slow city street traffic.

Check your oil, and see if it looks like milk chocolate. Pray to the holy buddah that it's ok.
