The coolant light and oil light are seperate.

If we're talking about the light on the coolant gauge, it will blink if
the coolant in the expansion tank (the one inside the engine bay, not
the one in the license plate area) is low.  It will also blink if the
sensor for it is dirty, if your coolant mix isn't close to 50/50, or if
it just feels like making trouble.

The steam indicates a leak somewhere, which you'll need to locate.
