Question about coolant pressurization

Hey y'all,

My current coolant tank has a crack in the side of it. About the mid point of the right side of the tank. Its not gushing out, but if I get my truck hot it will start to spray out a little bit. I've ordered a replacement tank, but is it safe to drive for 10 miles or so to get to work tomorrow? I'm not worried about the coolant, but rather the pressure issue of not building enough pressure.

2x I think you're fine. Heck in 10 miles It will hardly even get up to operating temperature. If it were 100 miles, that would be different, but for 10 miles I think you're fine.
