I have the same problem with my 2000 chevy tahoe. I keep having to add a minimal amount of coolant. I had an oil analysis done by blackstone labs and they told me i was leaking coolant into the oil. It was a minimal amount but enough that could cause premature bearing failure. I hope it is something simple like the cap but if not try and send an oil analysis to blackstone so you can have the piece of mind it is only 20 bucks. I decided to puchase a package of GM block sealant pellets because it is such a minimal leak. I have had good luck with this product in the past so i figured i would give it a shot.
