I just installed my Bo White ported tb back on recently. But when I first took it out some engine coolant spilled when taking off the hoses. Now I just test drove for a while and the car was fine but I didnt want to go WOT
When i turned off the car and opened the hood the engine bay was hot but not enough to burn me or anything.
Should I get some engine coolant to pour in what I spilled out even though the car was driving fine? Only a little bit was spilled out......about enough of it that I can hold it all in the palm of my hands held together.

if you lost a palms worth of coolant you will be fine not replacing it. Check the level though, and make sure its up to par.
