It should be all the time in the container. It has special marks MIN and MAX, the coolant level should not be lower than the MIN mark and not higher than MAX. You have to add coollant when the engine is cold.

What should you do if your engine overheats?
Do not have your car on. First step is to make sure your car has enough engine coolant, if you are low, buy some at the store and put it in its proper place for your car(If you do not know where that is then consult your owner's manual for engine or engine coolant.) If that is not the problem, then it is possible that you have a leak somewhere from the coolant container to your engine. Either check for any possible holes or loose connections or take it into an auto repair shop.
