Better safe than sorry. Did you check to see if it actually drips while the car is running. I've had lots and lots of leaky stuff over the years. It's been my experience that it may leak a bit when cold, then once things are hot and flowing, the leaks stop or diminish. Then after shutdown there's often another period of leaking as the water heats since it's just sitting in the block so the pressure goes up.

You'd have probably been fine, but since you can get it towed on Ins, why not. Better than getting 1/2 or 3/4 of the way there and then having to call a tow from the side of the road.
