When you say "top off", how much are you talking? A couple ounces or more than a liter. If it is just a little bit you could get away with that, although it certainly is not preferred. The correct way is to use a 50/50 mix of the correct coolant and water for your car. If you are talking like a liter or more, then do not do that unless it is an emergency situation so you can get home and then daring the coolant out and fix the leaking issue.

By the way, you have an XF, this is the X-TYPE forum. You really need to post in the XF forum to get responses most applicable to your car.
