hopefully not damaged. The ACD lights weren’t blinking as they do when the ACD pump goes. Nevertheless, there is was a pink fluid leak, which I think it’s steering fluid.

Bummer sorry to hear...that fluid is probably ATF from your ACD pump. My guess is you broke the line that goes from the pump, however the actual pump may be fine.

Oh boy. This is probably $3k in repairs if ACD pump is good. If bad, add another $2k. Yikes! Hope you have a small insurance deductible.

Bummer!! I had a tree branch fall on my hood last year.. from my own tree.
luckily i found an oem hood already painted tarmac black.
Good luck with the repairs. My insurance guy told me oem hoods cost 1200 before paint!

the deductible is $1k. As long as parts are available, all should be fine, I hope.

We hit roos in Australia, they are now close to all cities, should be culled, plug that ACD leak if you lose all the fluid it could damage the pump when they start it up inside

With the exception of the damage done by the deer, it looks like this is a clean evo. Insurance will most likely find replacements for the headlight, hood, driver side fender, but then just repair/repaint the front bumper and driver side door. I agree with the above in that your ACD pump is likely fine and that all you need is a hose or reservoir.

It’s at the shop. In the meantime I can gaze at a drawing my son made some years ago for me.
