Need support. Just found out my radiator is leaking

Hopes and prayers.

It might have got into the harness and it’s still dripping out. Patience. Wait a couple three days without spraying anything else in there, then use your cardboard. Watch the level in the overflow tank.

Checking the reservoir on lunch. How low below the line is to low?

Fill it to the hot line after the truck is fully warmed up and check to be sure it stays that way over a few days. Always check when the engine is off. If it keeps dropping over a few days then you have your answer. If it stays the same then you should be good. Either way, wait a few days before looking for drips.
Edit: if you’re looking when it’s cold then the same applies, fill to the cold line. Just be consistent.

I don’t have hot line I just wait for the engine to be completely cold to fill it to the cold line.
