Top mount charge cooler question

hey guys, so my charge cooler is bone dry and I have a new one ordered. i was wondering since there's a leak, can i put coolant in there right now for the time being so i can drive it or will that make things worse? thanks for any response

Highly recommended not to drive it until its replaced, not worth the risk to the motor.

Agreed, I'm not saying that you will but there's a chance of hydrolocking the motor.

When you get the replacement make sure to change the oil and the spark plugs.
