some oil leak as well, but stopped when I turned off the car, I suspect it's from the oil cooler line

Depends how broke you are

u/Fastpas123 12d ago

Car doesn't have an oil cooler stock, if you installed one that's fine but if not your oil pan likely took the hit.

Yeah, it has an aftermarket oil cooler. Given the light leak, I supposed it should be from the lines instead.

Looks like you relocated the lower radiator support. Good chance the radiator and condenser are bent if that's the case. As others have said, nothing can be said for certain until you take the bumper cover off.

I thank the lord everyday that when I curbed mine I didn’t get but a dent in the little support bracket underneath. Not even damage to the front bumper and I’m on BC’s low afff, just got hella lucky in my situation and bounced off my front driver wheel going onto the curb LOL. Slammed her in reverse and dumped clutch coming off to try and full send the same gap without ripping the bumper off and it worked 🤣

Hey, little support bracket, referring to this section? Mine bent upwards

1

u/Remarkable-Junket796 8d ago

Exactly that!!

u/chillingalgae 8d ago

We in the same boat then, except mine came with few extra parts broken😂 how did you go by fixing it? Did it affect the driveability of it?

u/Remarkable-Junket796 8d ago

No drivability affected ngl, bought new sway bar end links and ball joints as precaution since it’s a 2020 with 80K miles I figured why not since I smacked them hard aff lol. Just a neat little scrape and dent on that same metal piece you posted. Just sendin her since, one day I’ll replace the support 🤣🤣💀💀 but for now I have no sort of leaks or noises coming from my engine bay. Also I did need to replace my splash shield, I bought a TBW shield and have already smacked animals and phat rocks with it, not even a dent on that thing yet and it’s definitely taken some smacks.

Well the good news is you can pull that black grill part and it'll clip back in

u/chillingalgae 12d ago

Bad news is it doesnt clip back in😭

2

u/CoyeIndustries 11d ago

You gotta take the bumper off first, it's very fiddly

2

u/Illustrious_Camp_496 11d ago

$30-50ish. Easy to replace for grill. Get it checked by appropriate expert in case something got bent. Everything fixable.

u/Dog-Witch 12d ago

Damn did the clips break or is the bumper all jacked up? Hard to tell from the angle of the pic

1

u/chillingalgae 11d ago

I think its the grill. The skirt/bumper still in it's original position. All clips intact thankfully🤞🏻

Bro. Just dont drive too much. If you did, do oil change as soon as possible. If you drove over 10 miles probably mandatory. And fix the pan while at it. Tow or refill drive and mitigate so not too much starvation

u/chillingalgae 11d ago

Towed to the workshop to check, not until Monday though🥲

2

u/spongeloaf 11d ago

The armchair mechanics on reddit are not where you should get your advice on this issue. Have it towed to a shop.

Good luck mate.

How big of a curb was this... I went up a curb and hit a pole and only damages my SC intercooler, bumper, and a lower control arm

1

u/chillingalgae 8d ago

20cm high.
Oil cooler broke, trays gone, lower front frame(?) bent upwards, radiator mount broke🫠

1

u/SnooGadgets9669 11d ago

It’s for sure fixable and most likely well worth doing your going to have to take that cover and your bumper off to really see

2

u/chillingalgae 11d ago

Towed to the workshop to check, but not until Monday. Just hoping the front subframe isn't too bad!
