1998 Ford Contour Coolant Light On

[tomtina200]

I am having an issue today with my car.. It ran perfect last night and then this morining I turned it on and the Low coolant light came up in my dash board.. I immediately turned off the car poped the hood and the coolant level is just below MAX line... So I am not sure what is wrong with my car.. I just used my other car to come to work. I sure do not want to ruin my engine like that.. Any help or tips will be apreciated

thanks
