This could a failed water pump. Have your Chevy service provider take a look into this possibility straightaway.

Coolant loss is not something to be taken lightly, I strongly recommend you do not drive the car at all. The tow bill and such is a small matter compared to what might happen if you drive the car with a possibly bad water pump. Don't do it is my advice.

That could depend on the damages. Lets let the diagnosis be complete first and then return to the cost question after that.
