Answer
If you have an engine temp warning, there's a problem. A minor coolant leak won't cause an over-heat unless the coolant is allowed to get fairly low. A major leak will cause an over-heat rather quickly though. First, repair the leak, then fill the cooling system to the "proper" level with the "proper" coolant, and then see if you still get an engine temp warning. Unfortunately, the engine in your car is NOT very tolerant of over-heats. Tends to cause major problems such as blown head gaskets etc.
If the engine runs fine after repairing your leak, count your blessings and keep an eye on it in the future.
