Just put a black marker line where the coolant is now and monitor the level.

fill it up
Mine came the same way

Fill it up and mark it with a Sharpie....just in case.

It is a closed system with no vent. That means if the cap is tight NO fluid should be lost. You will know if you have a leak, once it starts you will see a steady decline

I'd fill it partway with Redline's Water Wetter and then the rest of the way with water. At the 'full' line, mark it with a 'Sharpie" for easy leak recognition.
