Welcome to the Forums.

I suggest a re-ask in the XF (X250) Tech Section, down the Homepage a tad.

Not too many Trch members come in here, as it is the Intro Section mainly.

Good luck.

NEVER, NEVER drive if the engine is hot!
Did you check the fluid levels after you got your error? It's cheap insurance to check fluids.

Yes. With a massive coolant leak like the OP, even if you turn off the engine almost immediately, it can be damaged. Forcing it to drive you home until it can barely run is game over for the engine.
