If I have a coolant leak in my car can I still drive it for a month before fixing it? I can't afford to get it fixed right now. It's a Toyota corolla

Ok thanks!!! It's pretty bad, I'll fill it with coolant and it's empty the next day. I'm not sure where the leak is yet but I was gonna get a pressure test to figure it out
