I left the covers off and of course the car will not be driven, so if the fluid remains at the "Min" mark it should rule out a split coolant tank ?? right ??

We will see tomorrow if the water has dropped..I did find a few drops under the water pump area, so a preemptive water pump looks to still be in the future (I just 80K miles)....but as I understand from reading the water pump is easy compared to the coolant tank.
It MAY tell you something but when running, your coolant is under pressure so any small crack or pin hole will be more easily discovered.
