I was rear-ended. Trunk lid, bumper and quarter panel damage. Once the body work was completed the car would not start. Had to replace the starter. Once the starter was replaced and the engine cranked, white smoke came out the tailpipe. Coolant leaking into the engine. More than likely it is the head gasket. Could the impact have caused these failures?

 

Exhaust system is directly connected to the heads. Was the exhaust system pushed forward in the accident?

 

Sorry to hear about this mishap

 

Doesnt seem to be any visible damage. But was hit at the right side where the tailpipe was located.
