So I assume you hit the radiator good enough to create a leak otherwise no reason to create a thread, correct? In this case if the hole is small I would attempt to cover the hole with a high temp rtv and wait a day for it to cure, and then start the car and see if it leaks. If not then drive it to a shop and replace the radiator. If it does leak immediately, tow it

Yeah right when I hit it there was a ton of gas? that escaped for about 5 minutes. I'm now thinking I just hit the AC condenser and not the radiator. There was a small amount of green liquid that came out and a TON of gas from a the hissing line...

Is there any reason I can't drive it? Seems like I just would be without AC until I fix the condenser.
