RATS! I ran over a dead deer this morning on my way to the subway station. My C70 has lowering springs and I couldn't avoid the deer in the middle of my lane. No escape route so I had to run it over.
Made a nasty thump. When I got to the parking lot I could see a bloody smear on the under side of the bumper and front cross member subframe.
I popped the hood and noticed some coolant leaking. I'm not sure of the source. I had yesterday put on a different hose clamp to the coolant reservoir, so maybe that isn't tight.
Noticed the car made a sound like something was rubbing.
Any thoughts on what type of damage I might have done?
Not sure if it was possible to break the radiator, intercooler, or something else under there.
Thanks
Tom
