Coolant level low - top up enough or need to get it checked for leaks?

My coolant level is slightly low. The on-board computer notified me of this about 3 days ago. The warning light comes on only intermittently i.e. not every time I start the engine/drive the car (2006 Vauxhall Vectra Elite, 2.2L Auto petrol).

Is it sufficient for me to merely top up the coolant/antifreeze, or do I need to also take it to a garage to get the system checked for a leak?

Just top it up to the "full" line (usually about half way up the reservoir) this time, but if it happens again within the next few thousand miles get it checked.
