The advice you'll get here is to fix the leak as first priority. Driving around without coolant is asking for trouble. Secondly, check that the radiator cooling fan works properly. Do the Demist Test and all that. When it's water-tight and properly bled (Follow the header tank lifting routine according the the Haynes manual. You do have a Haynes manual don't you?) When all this is correct, run the car and observe for problems. Avoid thrashing it until safe to do so. Come back here with any further queries. Avoid the garage suggestion. Nothing added to the oil will fix anything.
