Radiator Leak -Please Help

Last night I drove from Austin to Houston and when I got here I noticed some steam coming from the grille. It appears that my left fan's screws came loose (well one came out and the other came loose, and the fan was swinging and hitting the back side of the radiator. I have coolant leaking from the top center back of the radiator, not a whole lot, I started the trip at about full in the res. and was about midway btwn full and fill. I need to go back tomorrow (~170 miles of interstate driving) and was wondering what I can do?
Can I just drive it how it is and have plenty of water on hand to refill as needed, can I get some sort of patch/ putty that I can use to close the hole (I can see where the fan hit and the fins seem to be dented inward), or is it crazy to try to drive back and I need to get it fixed here?
All suggestions are much appreciated,
-Dirk
