You've toasted the engine by driving it when you knew it was low on oil.

you got a leak somewhere in the system. see, what probably happens is that the oil leaks out and gets burned off by some existing heat. this leaves no trail. it will be very hard to find the leak. consult a professional. 2003, right? don't you have a warranty? drop by the dealer service center and ask them.

You blew a head gasket, and this will need to be replaced along with the head. The coolant needs to be changed every 24000 miles despite the claims of GM and Dexcool. The 3.4 liter is very prone to blowing head gaskets as it is.
