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

How bad is it and where is it coming from? I would attend to it now, if possible as if you overheat it, you may do engine damage

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
