Hit something hard recently in passenger front? (i.e parking curb, steep driveway, etc.)

If so, could have taken out both condenser and rad

Before tossing any more $ at this w/o knowing issues I'd pull the bumper skin ASAP and inspect. Let us know what you find and we can assist from there.

Good luck

I was fine when I parked it on Sunday. You're right, I need to pull the bumper off and get a better look at it. Thanks.

Yes I agree that is coolant. If your a/c system was flat it could be a large leak. It seems possible that when you charged the a/c if the leak was on the side of the condenser, it could have frozen and cracked the plastic side of the radiator. But hitting or scraping the front seems more likely. Has your a/c worked recently? What ever the cause you will definitely need to remove the bumper cover to see what is wrong.
