Default small coolant leak, what do you think

i was going out to meet some buddies, when i got to the parking lot, right as i was reaching to shut of my car the low coolant light came on. i look under the hood and find a small pin hole in the line going into the tb. i repair the line and filled the collant reservoir with alittle more then a gallon of water to get me home. driving home the temp was fine, i do have my fans tuned, what i want to know is if im fine with leaving the cooling system as is, with the water and how ever much dex was left in the car.
