sabotaged

Currently on a long road trip and just hit some small plastic oil tank on the highway that got wedged under the car for a quarter mile or so.

One black piece of trim came off from the very bottom front of the bumper — just wondering if it looks like I’m missing anything else? In particular on the passenger side underbody there is a rectangular hole that looks like it might be out of place?

That rectangular hole is normal.

You have a puddle forming under the driver's side too - is it coolant? May have damaged a radiator or one of the hoses from it.

Also, the puddle if not coolant, if you have a headlight washer on bumper, it can be the headlight washer hose, as it runs along the inside bottom of the bumper, from rightside to leftside, to the base of headlight and then up and behind the nozzle fittins...

Thanks guys! I’m hoping it was just oil from the vessel I ran over since it still had a bit of oil in it. Most concerning would be coolant leak, but the coolant level seems good. I’ll check the washer level next

edit: just did Big Sur, CA in the pcar yesterday. Worth that experience alone for the trip from Vancouver, BC!

Wipe your fingers through the wetness and see what color it is and what it smells like. Oil, coolant, and washer fluid have very different scents.
