Top it up (50/50 mixz) and keep an eye on it. If it sucks back some coolant, then you have to top it up again AND bleed the system as if it has been sucking air from the expansion tank, then you have air in the system. I'd suggest the "easy bleed" method. Just drive till hot and with the engine ideling (or reving) crack the front bleeder scew on the Radiator (13mm bolt) and listen for the HISSSssssssss till you get coolant. Do that a few time (from cold to hot bleed, cold to hot bleed etc) and keep the expansion tank toped up and after a while you'll be OK. I hope!
