Car gotten to an accident. Radiator got busted and liquid was leaking under the car. Radiator was replaced. After aweek car began to overheat. The coolant would leak on passenger side of the car causing the reservoir to drain and leaving radiator empty. The coolant leak stop after getting exhaust pipe fix. Shortly after the car overheated once i started driving. Leaving no coolant in radiator and reservoir. What might be the issue?

They coolant leak is not noticeable. I'm hoping it's not the head gasket.

If there is no visible leak, check the following. First, check the engine oil. Does it appear to be a creamy or light brown in color? Also, start the engine and pay attention to the exhaust. Is there excessive white smoke coming from it?

One other thought... Is the floor on the passenger side of the vehicle wet?
