I would say go for it... whether or not it helps with the car running hot I don't know, but keeping the fluid level topped up is a good thing.. both for the car and any animals that might happen upon puddles of antifreeze leftover.

My Jaguar does the same thing... it actually runs nice and cool (very rare for an XK120), but on hot days, after I shut the engine off, it will belch up a bunch of coolant. I carry a large beach towel and put it under the car every time I stop to avoid leaving toxic puddles. I'm definitely planning to add an expansion tank to it...
