Default Like clockwork...

I got my Integra last week, and JUST hit 80k... So, of course, the radiator has begun to leak. I just ordered a Koyo full aluminum unit, so hopefully I won't have to worry about replacing it again since it seems that the failure of the factory radiator is fairly common in these cars.
Now the leak seems very minor, and my temp gauge does not even reach the half way mark. Would it be foolish for me to drive the car until the new radiator arrives so long as I mind the coolant level?

you should be ok to drive it until you get your new one in. Just make sure you keep checking the coolant level

I picked it up on ebay, it came out to about $300 shipped. I wanted to get it as soon as possible, so I really didn't have the time to shop around.
