In your shoes the first thing I would do is top-up the expansion tank to the 'MAX' tab inside and use the car regularly whilst monitoring the coolant level. At the first sign of loss, look carefully for traces of antifreeze solution.

Absolutely. If there wasn't antifreeze and the engine or radiator froze, the water expands when frozen and can burst pipes, radiator fins or crack the block, liners etc. Do you have any signs of dropped coolant/water?
