Default Coolant Level

I asked this question to donut (User in audiworld) in PM. But I would also like to hear from other people as well.

Yesterday, I broke a T that was connecting coolant pipes and coolant was all over the engine (bad situation). Long story short, I replaced T and drained out as much coolant I could. It took about just less than gallon of 50/50 mixture afterword. Probably, there was coolant already in the system.
Now my question is, at 55F outside temperature, my coolant level in the reservoir is just at the Min level. But when I warm up the car, It extends to Max level.

Do I need to add more coolant to Max at 55F outside Temp?

I guess there is coolant leak somewhere else now, If any of you guys have coolant tubes layout to give, I will appreciate that.

FYI: when I was adding new coolant, I filled it to max level.
