Just ran something over. Have radiator leak.

There was random debris on 80 after the Bay Bridge. Coolant was dripping from underneath the car. Which part is voulnerable? What should I be checking?

Did u just add coolant or top it off? It might just be your overflow bottle.

Nope. I hit a disc about 12" in diameter. Looked like a stool/chair top or something.

I just drove it around the block and no drips. Maybe the overflow bottle got knocked around?

Try cleaning everything with a rag or paper towel. Then rock the car back and forth and get underneath the engine to see where the fluid is coming from. Isolate the problem area until you've found it. Good luck
