You can drive it if you keep an eye on the coolant level. But, depending on where the leak it, it can get worse suddenly. You can borrow a pressure tester from Autozone, pressurize the system and see where it is leaking.
Luckily it only takes a second to check your coolant level. Most cars these days have a translucent coolant overflow tank right next to the radiator. It's white plastic, but you can see inside to see if there's enough juice to keep things safe. You'll also see markings on the side telling you the low and high levels to work with. Always check your coolant level when the car is cold. If you happen to have an older vehicle without a visible overflow and fill tank, you'll have to check the antifreeze / coolant level by looking into the radiator. There is no dipstick or other meter to tell you whether you have enough coolant in the radiator on these older vehicles.
