What to do if the car chassis is leaking after being hit?

Check which part of the chassis is leaking, and then go to the 4S store to repair the leaking part. Here is some information about the car chassis: Definition: The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, the running system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, form the overall shape of the car, receive the power from the engine, make the car move, and ensure normal driving. Function: The power generated by the car engine is transmitted to the driving wheels through the transmission system. The transmission system has functions such as deceleration, speed change, reverse, power interruption, wheel differential, and axle differential. Working in coordination with the engine, it can ensure the normal driving of the car under various working conditions, and has good power and economy.
I have experience with suddenly hitting the undercarriage while driving and then noticing fluid leaks. Last time when I was driving back to my hometown on rough roads, the same thing happened. Here's what I did: First, I turned on the hazard lights, pulled over safely, and turned off the engine. Then I got down to check what fluid was leaking. If it's colorless, odorless water, it's most likely just air conditioning condensate - that's normal and nothing to worry about. But if it's green or pink fluid with a sweet smell, that's definitely coolant leaking, and you must call for a tow truck immediately because continuing to drive will quickly cause engine overheating and cylinder damage. If it's brown or black sticky oil, that's either engine oil or transmission fluid leaking - you can't keep driving in this case either. The key is not to mess with it yourself, especially if you smell gasoline - get away from the car quickly. In my case, I ended up spending a few hundred dollars to replace a radiator support bracket, but fortunately no critical undercarriage components were damaged.
