Default Replaced IC pump - coolant loss - Please help!

I just replaced the IC pump and when I opened the original pump it was indeed bad. I used needle nose vice to clamp the houses so no coolant would be spilled. I started the car and pulled out of the garage to check for leaks and noticed a trail of coolant in front of me . I took off the splash guard and it does seem it's coming from the IC pump area but I cannot see from where exactly and now I got a low coolant light. Could you please advise where to actually add the coolant? (to the reservoir?) - no I don't have a service manual and would I be okay starting the car again if there is still coolant in the reservoir (although low) to check where it's leaking from?
