I park in a parking garage where I work and the floors are at a slant. Mine always is on when I leave work but goes off after the engine worms up. Also my drive is on a slant and if I leave the car running while in the driveway, it comes on. At first I worried about it... sounds like a common issue. I put slightly more coolant in the reservoir ( just above the MAX line ) and it seemed to prevent it from doing it as often.
Hope this helps.

The reservoir "sensor" is a little touchy, I have found that if the coolant level is ABOVE the full line by a about in inch, it is fine and never comes on.
