I wouldn't risk generic auto parts store coolant for risk of gelling due to incompatible chemistry.
I couldn't tell the difference between the VW and Porsche stuff, they both tasted the same to me.
Since it's not too far below the min, i'll try distilled water first. When my new cap comes and it still leaks, then I'll just flush out the system, fix the leak and go on from there.
