I took my lexus is300 with 164k miles into a Toyota dealer today for an oil change. Everything seems fine until they told me I have a leak in the water pump! My water pump and timing belt were changed at 110k miles. I have replaced a leaking radiator and engine coolant at 145k miles. I inspected the car and I don't see any leaks on the ground. Car's temperature are always normal during driving and hot/cold air is always working. I opened up my coolant reservoir box after driving for 15 minutes and it's empty! Am I safe to drive the car for another 4-5 days until I can get my car to a friendly mechanic to double check on the weekend? Should I fill up the coolant reservoir to full? Please let me know. Thanks!

it would be a good idea if you topped it off, but if not, worst case scenario would be the car starts overheating and thus causing more damage to the internals.

Do not drive the car around with low coolant!! Fill that reservoir ASAP!
