Front-End Crash

On Friday I had hydroplaned and went into the ditch. At first we only thought the damage was only because the air bags deployed and my bumper torn up. But I drove it around town and when the engine is warm it will leak coolant. We tried to find where it’s coming from but couldn’t. It’s a 2001 ford ranger XLT 4 cylinder 2.5 liter engine. The truck does not overheat. It left puddles every time I parked then stop once cooled.

First I would check all hoses and clamps. If good you can rent a pressure tester that attaches to your radiator and you pump up the pressure to see where it is leaking from. I'm guessing something happened to the radiator.

we checked the hoses and clamps and they weren’t leaking. And the container of the radiator wasn’t leaking so we are confused on what’s going on.

Then you will have to get/rent the pressure tester, as said, and pump up the system to 25psi and find the leak when engine is cold
Maybe add some UV Dye
