oil cooler leaking

Happy Festivus every one, A Festivus for the rest of us!
Pretty sure my oil cooler was leaking, so I drained the coolant, removed the oil cooler, cleaned it, blah blah blah. It's been couple days now without coolant and getting cold at night (Co.) 15-20. Is my motor at risk?
waiting for the money to buy new o-rings for cooler...

Draining the coolant isn't a problem, as long as the freeze point of the coolant you drained was adequate to begin with.
