I would pressure test the cooling system and check for leaks to start with. As far driving it if the coolant leak is big enough could be dangerous as far as overheating the engine. Also depending on where its leaking could suddenly get real bad as far as leak goes.

You would have to get a coolant system pressure tester kit with the correct adapter to going on where the radiator cap goes. Then pump up the cooling system to the same pressure as the radiator cap has on it. Then see if you can see any visual leaks or the pressure dropping on the gauge?You might even have a bad radiator cap not holding pressure and loosing coolant thru steam escaping?Auto zone rents tools for free with deposit for free.
