Overheating (need advice

Hello!

So in short my car (328i) overheated once while at idle (120-130 degrees). I believe the car is fine as I only let it sit for less than 5 minutes and I shut it off as soon as I saw it.

I was slightly low on coolant ( slightly below the cold mark) and I may have a small leak, not enough to notice it on the reservoir. My heating wasn’t working.

I let it cool down and now my heating works some what (when driving at first then fully). I was able to drive with no overheating (temp 90-103 Celsius).

Sorry for the terrible spelling I’m mad tired.

Video doesn’t work if you would like to see it let me know but the leak is around the ac compressor

Any help would be appreciated
