Default AC Condenser/ Roadkill

The other night I hit a coyote. Everything looked fine bottom bumper was hanging down a little put it back. An hour later a mile from home the power steering goes out. I get home look under the hood what looks to be coolant on the pulleys making it go out. I see the condenser is bent in on the bottom left corner pretty bad and what I thought was coolant was all over. I just took out the radiator and condenser. The radiator looks fine. But the car was leaking coolant when I moved it from the road to the driveway and a lot. Where was this coolant coming from all hoses where on good. Nothing else is damaged. The radiator and hoses where basicly dry. But only the condenser is damaged?

Now that you have the radiator out, put a rubber glove or something similar over the bottom outlet, secure it with rubber bands and fill the radiator up with water. If its leaking, you'll find it easily. Sometimes they can be repaired. Take it to a radiator shop.

If no leak, then what you are seeing is either transmission fluid from the heat exchanger or compressor oil from the A/C system.

How did the coyote turn out?

Just looked at it during lunch the corner on the condenser is oil soaked. I did the radiator trick last night . Rad is good. Condenser is trashed. Coyote = fubar. Ordering a condenser this weekend I guess
