Oil and Coolant lights flashing 850

I have a '96 850 GLT with 149k. I've noticed recently that during hard braking or tight turns the oil light and sometimes the coolant light flash for a moment. They never stay on for more than an instant and the two do not seem to be related in any way since they don't always flash at the same time. I had my oil changed about 2k miles ago and wonder if I'm just running low on oil. Could my engine be burning so much oil that it's already low after only 2k mi.?

As for the coolant, I have no idea other than it may just be low since I don't know the last time it was checked. I've only owned the car for about 6 months so I'm scared that I may have an oil burning problem that's going to plague me for the life of the car.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Kurt
