Low coolant light

So my low coolant light came on today, and the little floaty thingy was at the bottom. I only had to add a little bit and it was at full again.

So what are the chances that this is NOT a crack/leak? How often does the level drop in a healthy system? Should I go get a pressure test done ASAP or just keep monitoring it?

I'm at 90K miles, so I guess it's pretty likely the radiator is going. Driving the car into a snowbank probably didn't help my odds.
