The thing that really made me wonder if Sirius were being poisoned was
a series of thoughts that Harry has during Chapter 18: Dumbledore's Army.

After speaking with Sirius via the fire, Harry, Ron, and Hermione have
decided to move forward with the DADA classes on the sly. Hermione has
wondered aloud about whether they can trust Sirius' judgement.

A while later, Harry is nodding off as he studies
Potions--specifically he's reading about Confusing and Befuddlement
Draughts--and makes the connection that these potions can cause
"hot-headedness and recklessness" (UK edition, p. 340). 

Perhaps this is the passage that magicroxx is referring to?

When I read that passage, I immediately wondered if there was yet
another spy in the Order and if s/he was slowly posioning Sirius. 

If there is such a mole, I would bet that, following in the footsteps
of Peter, it would have to be someone who nobody would suspect.
Someone completely innocuous or considered to be harmless or someone
who could seamlessly blend into the surroundings. Tonks perhaps?
