In my experience, if you need to top up the coolant, you'd be best to bleed it. It only takes a few more minutes, requires only a screwdriver, and it'll give you piece of mind that the system is filled correctly. Just my $0.02 worth...

I have a small leak so about every week or 2 I check the level but when I loosen the bleeder screw the level rises to full and doesn't allow me to add any

Those plastic bleeder screws are known to break easily fiy. Upgrade to a brass one
