Somebody jacked up my car from right underneath the radiator and it pushed up on the bottom of the radiator. It doesnt look to bad and theres no leak but I'm no expert I've attached a photo. Could this amount of damage cause overheating? [IMG]  - [/IMG]

Can't really see the pic but it looks like it'll work fine. Just don't let that person who did that work on ur car anymore.

Just squashed a row of fins. As long as it's not leaking, it'll be fine.

When the car is cold check the radiator fluid and make sure you do not see any swirls in it. warm the car up a bit and see if the radiator fluid is bubbling (foamy). If either of those are true than you have a head gasket issue.
