after noticing my coolant idiot light go off, I finally got around to check the coolant level. As suspected there is some in the reservoir, but it is below the minimum line. Other issue is I noticed the coolant in the reservoir is clear.

My question is, I have no time this weekend to get the coolant flushed, should I bother topping off or wait until this weekend to flush the system. I have no clue what type of coolant has been used and I don't want to risk mixing the wrong types.

If you are gonna flush in the next 2-3 week (before it get coooold) you can just top off with water...
