bottoming out the altima

[mustafa]

Hi, new to the forums and unfortunately its because im scared s***less

I was out with a bunch of friends and when I was pulling out of the parking lot, i scraped the belly of the car on a raised man-hole (i don't know how i didn't see it). The car wasn't going that fast, i had just taken my foot off of the brake (but it did make kind of a scary sound). I went and checked underneath and nothing was hanging, leaking. I took it to the dealership and they want to charge me $60 to take a look at it.

Later on in the evening I took the car out again, turned it on and waited to see for anything weird. I saw water dripping from the front center of the car (i made sure the a/c was off).

Do you guys think any damage was done.

Any feedback would be helpful

do you have a jack? try lifting it up to see if there's any serious damage. if not start it and let it run for 10 minutes in park. Check it after a night in the garage, if you have any puddles or weird looking dried spots chances are you punctured something. if not you might be ok. A few years ago my dad and I were driving an Isuzu trooper and drove over something. We didn't really notice anything weird, but after about a week we saw a damn 2 foot crowbar sticking out the side of the gas tank. We removed it and we got really lucky because the crowbar punctured an unused cavity. We also got a free crowbar. Needless to say s*** happens but sometimes it isn't that bad.
