Coolant issue

Bought a 2003 Tiptronic last September with 65K on it. Runs great. Drove with the wife to Truckee yesterday. At the to of Donner Pass, we stopped to raise the roof due to rain beginning to come down. While idling on the side of the highway, what seemed like a couple of cups of coolant were on the pavement below the reservoir.

I had topped it off a few days before, but honestly have a difficult time telling what the level is in the reservoir.

The car continued to run at its normal a hair over 180F. This morning, as we were leaving the resort to go up the road to Tahoe, the low coolant light flashed on and off, then went out. Again, the temp never got higher than normal.

Any ideas what is going on?
