Open up the engine cover and have a look if any water is missing from the left container, that is supposed to be under pressure when the engine is hot. Only open it if no water is coming out of it. If there is a lot of water that is missing, you better top it up and make sure that the container on the right is also filled to the hole. If things are going OK, it should do, but if there is a lot of air in the system, you would want to bleed it.
