My 2011 Ford Taurus overheated because the coolant ran out. The coolant was replenished and it didn't overheat again but now it is leaking coolant somewhere underneath the serpentine belt

Is there any way I can fix this problem until I can get it properly taken care of?

nope, im assuming it has a belt driven fan, so the fan would need to come off, then the belt, and about a quarter of the top and side of the engine would need to come off before you can get to all the bolts that hold the water pump in place. then you'd need to clean and re-install the water pump with a new gasket. But while your there you might as well put a new timing kit on it, since the timing kit would come with a new water pump gasket anyways.
